How to Catch Rare Fish in WoW
In "World of Warcraft" the achievement, "The One That Didn't Get Away" requires players to spend time fishing extremely rare fish. An important thing for this achievement is knowing the location of the certain fish required. By equipping lures and leveling your Fishing Skill, you have a greater chance of fishing other valuable items and fish as well. The drop rate for the rare fish in WoW is very low, 0.1 percent. This means that you must wait some time before you catch rare fish on your fishing hook.

Stay in the area where rare fish accumulate for an extended period of time. The drop rate is 0.1 percent, meaning that it takes multiple castings to catch one. It is possible to catch different types of rare fish in the same area. If you in the Blasted Lands or Swamp of Sorrows, you can catch both the 103 Pound Mightfish and the 22 Pound Lobster. Other locations host a home to only one rare fish. Hillsbrad Foothills is where the Steelscale Crushfish is located.
