Magic Bucket = Pure of RNG?

I got it on my first cast. I'll show myself the door now.

I got it after around 150 casts, and my stats are 626 gathering, 519 perception.
My bf that has similar stats, is going over 200 casts and still haven't caught it.

While we were both fishing, a friend (still in the white gear with barely a meld) sat himself next to us and caught it after 12 tries...

about 280 castst until i got it

I just did my 300th, nothing.

I got it after 125 casts at 771/625 stats with Brute Leech and Snagging.

493 casts, but I finally caught it. My Husband went 300+.

At random a frog jumps out. I thought I was crazy at first so I patiently waited for ages until I was able to screenshot it for real :)

40ish casts. It's a big pull animation so ignore everything else. Use Chum and Cordials to speed up the process.

That aside, yeah, RNG.

470 leeches later, finally got it.

Late update, but I already got it after I upgrade some 150 to 170 and in 4 casts I gt this damn magic bucket -_- . Nice RNG SE.

Took me about 130 casts with brute leeches to land my bucket. I already get compliments on the minion from people. I'm glad that is untradeable/unsellable...its a nice tip of the hat to those who leveled their fisher to 60.
