Congrats! :-) Working on that one myself, but slowly, it's infinitely
higher droprate than before though; I used to average one lunker per 2
hours fishing (erm, I only caught three before the patch, can't
inagine why...), now it's 2-3 per 10 mins lure, sometimes only one per
lure, but usually more, so yeah, MILES better. 

If it feels a lot worse than that, might need higher skill, apparently
the droprate is better the higher skill you have, so use your best
lures etc, might help a bit.

Hehe shame, I thought the abilities sounded cool, that said, I've not
levelled a croc yet either, so it'll be of use to me if I level it up
first. Looks awesome anyway!

Talking of awesome looking pets, I'm 11/12 on the new raiding wth
leashes achievement, cannot wait to get my baby naaru, shame that one
can't battle but it looks amazing; I have a holy draenei priest who
will forevermore use that as her companion I think :-)
