I have spend 3 days fishing for him. I have a 450 fishing skill and fish at 560 or 585. I have caught 328 Crawfish, 109 Golden darter, 12 Enormous Trout, 15 scrolls 7 gold fish(vendor) but no Mr Pinchy. I thought that with 500 casts I would catch him at least once, but either I am very unlucky or they changed this with new patches. I caught Rat in like 30 tries! I just wanted to warn other people-how hard this really is. I have caught Way over 500 fish in Northrend and no Turtle either! You can make money fishing and it is really easy though.
Good luck

Fished Mr Pinchy up the other day and got the pet first and then benevolent mr pinchy twice. Tho really as you do not know which mr pinchy you are to get i did not want to take a chance that he may be a hindrance in a fight situation, adding to my problems so just took him for a stroll round Shattrath for 10mins before he keeled over and died.

I'm quoting this from below because its getting hard to find, thanks Seravais for the info:
Quote:
Mr. Pinchy is only fished out of Highland Mixed Schools in Terrokar Forest. There are a total of 17 Highland mixed schools in the three Fly-to only lakes in Terrokar Forest. 3 in the lake above Stonebreaker point, 4 that spawn in the lake just above and behind Allerian Stronghold (Lake Ere'Noru), and 10 in Blackwind Lake/Skettis area. Mr. Pinchy's drop rate appears to be about a 0.2% drop rate on successful casts (about 2 out of 1000 or 1 in 500 casts) so be prepared to spend alot of time on this.

You will need 420 fishing to Cast into the Highland Mixed schools, and about 480 to loot without many "Your fish got away!" messages.
You will no longer receive "Your fish got away!" messages if your fishing skill is 525 fishing or higher.

I had the games max limit of 527 Fishing the 3 times that I have caught him.
375 Base Fishing Skill
+40 Arcanite Fishing Pole (I have the High Test Eternium Fishing Line on it so 35+5=40)
+5 Lucky Fishing Hat
+5 Nat Pagle's Extreme Angling Boots
+2 Fishing Skill enchant to gloves
+100 Aquadynamic Fish Attractor

Upon Catching you will get one of the following results (listed in what seems to be the most common results first)

1 - Mr. Pinchy's Gift, contains 4-5 Super Healing, and 4-5 Super Mana potions
2 - Mr. Pinchy's Blessing, 2-hour 1200hp buff that persists through death!
3 - Furious Mr. Pinchy, Lvl 70 non elite that attacks you and your party, is not lootable.
4 - Benevolent Mr. Pinchy, Lvl 70 Guardian that assists you for 10 minutes
5 - Magical Crawdad Box, summons a Magical Crawdad non-combat pet, very rare
considering such a low drop rate on Mr. Pinchy to begin with, and then only 3 chances to get this box. Otherwise, time to try to get Mr. Pinchy again for another 3 chances!


Edit: Got my first Mr. Pinchy today, hoping to see the pet. Used it and got the the guardian. I'm currently fishing with my Seth's Graphite Pole (+20 skill) and Sharp Fishing Hooks (+100 Lure), drunk from time to time on Captain Rumsey's Lager (+10 skill for 3 minutes). I have base skill of 375, so I'm getting 495-505.

As I played my huntah, I had skill around 350 and I had hat and the eternium line+35pole so.. buffed up skill roughly 490-500 skill, and didnt get "your fish got away" messages nearly at all, and got Pincy too ( not pet *sob*).

But now as my priest, buffed up 522 skill, I get the message around every 3rd pool of highland mixed.. But looking still forward to get the damn crab..
Edit: actually, I dont get that message anymore.. (or very very rarely)


EDIT: Maybe I shouldnt write this now as I ve been awake way too long and drinked too much coffee.. Hehe, but Im laughing so much for the though that I just had to share it with you right now.
Well, as I fish in skettis place I get often attacked by water elementals and as having all that +fishing gear on me, my +spell damage is just around 400.
Well, having fishing pole as melee weapon dont bother me so much as I cast spells, but think about a rogues.. haha!! What they do, they spank 70lvl elementals with a fishing pole.. Basic 17,5dps on Arcanite fishing pole.. plus their +ap which is decreased by using fishing gear, they must enjoy that a lot.

I wish luck all you by trying to catch Mr. Pinchy.

After hearing about this guy in a fishing guide I set out to get one... The motes of water and other fish in the Mixed Highland Schools make a good source of income or raid handouts. I finally found him after fishing out all the pools once or twice a day until my skill hit 375.

I was so happy... The blue picture popped up and autoloot asked me to confirm the looting of this item... Before I could say YES! my levitate wore off and I fell into the lake cancelling my loot window and setting Mr. Pinchy free. I was very very sad... no Mr. Pinchy for me... I hopped up levitated again and cast another line in the same pool... There he is! Mr. Pinchy is back! Not a particularly interesting story but I guess a pool is "destined" to have a Mr. Pinchy in it when it is born and Mr. Pinchy will stay there until someone grabs him up.

I've only used it once and got Benevolent Mr. Pinchy. He does melee damage in the ballpark of 225 with a good crit rate. He can be buffed and healed. I hope he hands out the Non-combat pet next time cause it is something money can't buy.

Half destiny, half good game design

The reason Pinchy appeared again after your loot window got cancelled is most likely due to fishing nodes sometimes acting like other lootable nodes; the items you find in mining and herb nodes will stay the same if you cancel out of the window without looting. If you leave a rough stone in a copper node, mining it again will open a window containing only a rough stone. Chests are also the same. I'm sure everyone's experienced opening a chest, only to find one or two consumables inside, left by the last person who opened it and didn't want to waste bag space looting the useless items. In Pinchy's case, Blizzard likely made sure he would be "saved" to the node once he was fished up.

After 2 days of fishing and using tons of lures, I set out to the three lakes in Terrokar to find Mr Pinchy.

Aside from the pools having furious crawdads and golden darters ( my guild loves me now for passing out food during boss fights on raids ) I was lucky enough to pull up Mr Pinchy jsut as my last Aquadynamic Fish Attractor was expiring.

First use received the non combat pet. Second use Furious Mr Pinchy came out, and 2 days until the third one.

The non combat oet alone is worth going for this guy, and you could most likely make some decent coin selling the fish used for food as well.

Mr. Pinchy, in a good mood, will:

1. give you a non-combat pet (as previously mentioned)
2. fight alongside you as Benevolent Mr. Pinchy
3. give you a bunch of pots
4. give you a 1200 health buff that lasts through death.

In a bad mood, he will fight you.

Mr. Pinchy's Blessing has apparently been nerfed, as I got it today and it was only +500HP for 2 hrs. ("Mr. Pinchy's Blessing. Health increased by 500. This effect persists through death and is considered a flask. 2 hours remaining")

There are some special fishing holes only reachable by flying mount in Therrokar where he can be fished up. It took me several days to get one. He has 3 charges and a 2 day cooldown. The first use granted me a "Magical Crawdad Box" that is a crawdad non-combat pet. I will report what else I receive in a few days.

I'm not sure what level fishing the pools are however they arent fishable at 341 however using +52 in equipment and the +75 baubles they are.

Use #2 (update): I waited 2 days and Mr Pinchy gave me a second "Magical Crawdad Box". Drat I was hoping for something else. Of course I'll be back and post what I get for my 3rd use in a few days.

Use #3 (update): The little bugger has forsaken me once agan and granted me another magical crawdad box. Looks like I need to fish him up again.
