    Kiena, I think it might be something to do with the area your fishing in...
    I tried in the northern part of the Under belly & got it within 5 casts.
    In The southern part, it took me over 5 hours.
    I was wearing all the fishing gear with +stats on,
    including my Darkwood Fishing Pole.

    The fishing waters of the underbelly are all the same. You got lucky, getting it in 5 casts. Don't tell someone they're doing something wrong because the RNG favors you over someone else. And as long as you aren't having any getaways, your fishing gear makes no difference.

    Ok, finally, well not really but I set out to get the little rat tonight and lo and behold he saw that I meant it and gave up with hardly a fight!

    Sewer Carp 20
    Magic Eater 10
    Partially eaten fish 2
    Leaded Vial 2
    Giant Sewer Rat 1

    Off the docks of the UnderBelly Inn

    After the last couple days of seriously trying to catch the rat I finally did it today at Cantrips and Crows at the end of the dock. Here are my stats

    Sewer Carp 746 : 56.4%
    Magic Eater 331 : 25.0%
    Empty Vial 81 : 6.1%
    Drowned Rat 71 : 5.4%
    Partially Eaten Fish 59 : 4.5%
    Leaded Vial 23 : 1.7%
    Crystal Vial 7 : 0.5%
    Imbued Vial 2 : 0.2%
    Enchanted Vial 1 : 0.1%
    Giant Sewer Rat 1 : 0.1%

    Total Catches: 1322

    Geez! The blasted RNG has me blacklisted, apparently. Luckily, I was able to outlast the infernal software and finally caught ratty a few minutes ago.

    Sewer Carp 991 - 52.5%
    Magic Eater 511 - 27.1%
    Empty Vial 122 - 6.5%
    Drowned Rat 112 - 5.9%
    Partially Eaten Fish 87 - 4.6%
    Leaded Vial 40 - 2.1%
    Crystal Vial 11 - 0.6%
    Enchanted Vial 6 - 0.3%
    Imbued Vial 5 - 0.3%
    Giant Sewer Rat 1 - 0.1%

    Total - 1886

    Don't give up! He'll drop eventually!

    My advice too. I got mine this morning in the second of 2 sessions ~ 3 hours of fishing. I've spent more time going after Old Crafty and Ironjaw and still have neither :-(.

  6. Druidor <Angler>, 7 months ago:

    Finally got my rat this evening after 10 minutes of fishing off the dock in the sewer, before then had spent around 2hrs without luck.

    Got old Ironjaw much faster (10 casts) compared to around 500 for the rat.

  7. justicehand <Angler>, 7 months ago:

    And still no giant sewer rat pet

    I actually do "think I smell a giant rat." From what I have read I must be having truly bad luck catching this fish... or someone at Blizzard hates me... :P

    I have the hat from the shattrath fishing daily, and the kalu'ak rod. So with my skill maxed out and hat and rod equipped and using the lures from the hat my fishing skill has been at 560 for all these catches too....

    I just read Pwnica's comment from 3 months ago and don't feel "quite" so bad now... said it the comment that it took him 7154 casts to get it.

    I wish i had this bugger, but i still caught 2 dark herrings in under and hour so im kinda happy lol.

  9. crawmom <Angler>, 7 months ago:

    I caught him yesterday (day right before patch release) and there was the 'If you loot this, it will be bound to you" message with an "Ok" and "cancel" option. I had autoloot on.

    Without thinking (since I'm used to catching thousands of fish with no success), I took a step backward and lost the rat.

    Blizzard won't give him back to me. They won't tell me why, even after opening 2 GM tickets. What do you guys think I should do? :(

    If your read through some threads many people have been in your situation. I don't believe there is anything you can do besides start fishing again. Sorry about your luck.

    I know it doesn't help you now, but supposedly in the notes for this patch it says they are removing the Confirmation window for BoP fishing - so that can never happen again. Unfortunately, too late for you :[

    I have been fishing for two weeks total (skilling up from ZERO) and I caught the sewer rat in less than two hours- the very day after I caught the sea turtle mount.

    In these two weeks I have: Skilled to max from zero.
    Caught the sea turtle
    Caught the sewer rat
    Became a "Coin Master"
    & Caught two Dark Herrings!

    And I am still only at 2800 fish total (6000 and a bit with junk though, but again, that was leveling from nothing)

    Tomorrow I start on Mr Pinchy. I expect this to be a far longer grind!

    Ah yes I lost a Pinchy once like that.
    Jus keep on fishin, he'll pass your way again.

  15. anakhahawk <Angler>, 6 months ago:

    3 hours fishing in the underbelly last night after I'd just fished up the turtle in Dragonblight.

    Caught everything on this list (2 frostweave bags full)

    Crystal Vial
    Drowned Rat
    Empty Vial
    Enchanted Vial
    Imbued Vial
    Leaded Vial
    Magic Eater
    Partially Eaten Fish
    Sewer Carp

    But NOT the Giant Sewer Rat :(

  16. Hordriss <Angler>, 6 months ago:

    After about 600 casts at Cantrips and Crows, I switched to Black Market and got him after maybe 50 (before I downloaded Fishing Buddy so no stats).

  17. Dello <Angler>, 6 months ago:

    I have over 5000 casts and 3500 are fishes.- no rat

  18. Shaell <Salty>, 6 months ago:

    Took me precisely 777 casts...

    I guess it must've been this lucky one! :)

  19. justicehand <Angler>, 5 months ago:

    I posted about a month ago with stats. I had to reload WoW last week and lost my fishing buddy stats in the process. But I finally caught the sewer rat about 5 minutes ago doing the fishing daily. I had quit trying to farm him and decided I would just do the dailies and if I got him ...cool. After doing the jewel of the sewer daily about a dozen times in the last month I got him. So, it took me around 3250 casts at the cantrips and crows area to get it.
