    It's a very rare catch from certain high level outlands fishing spots. 3 charges, 2 day cooldown, random effect. effects include: temporary combat pet, a non combat pet, +1200 health 2 hour buff (lasts through death), him attacking you, and a box of potions.

      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 (lake Jo'rune), 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 Anglin' 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, this seems to be the most common result of his wishes.
      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!

        I also have max fishing skill, and even with +52 in item buffs and a +100 lure I still occasionally get the "Your fish got away" when fishing in certain parts of Skettis. Never seen Mr. Pinchy yet and I've caught over 100 Furious Crawdads so I have no idea how many catches that is!

        Just for info, on the western side of the island in Skettis (where the school is), 427 skill is not enough to even cast the line. On the north-east side, it is enough to cast.

        Is the required reaction time related to what is hooked? Without lures I can catch a lot of Barbed Gill Trout, but not I never get a Golden Darter. With +100 lure, I get more than just trout. I think the reaction time required may be related to the difficulty of the actual fish that has bitten, and the catches that escape at 527 skill might be a Mr. Pinchy.
