Guys iam like 4days stucked in orgrimar and trying do Old crafty achievment.. I already catch this mfker but gues whot.. i was like robot, so i just clicked another hook and didnt loot it :// after like 50 hooks later I catched another one and again i didnt looted it !!!! now Iam prepared, and clicking it carefuly by mouse.. But 10k hooks and still nothing :// is this bugged or what ? or iam super unlucky ?
It's not that easy, because when you click the item in the loot window (or use auto-loot) you get the "Looting Old Crafty will bind it to you." dialog, and if you cast Fishing again the dialog is dismissed and the fish is lost. I think I once saw an addon to "fix" this, but I'm not sure.
The chance is 0.1 %, so yes, it's rare. You already caught it twice, so why would it be bugged?
