I would not have known this Turtle mount was achievable if someone didn't spam in trade about it. The mount is the Riding Turtle, a TCG mount, but blizz put it in the game as something that you can fish up in your Draenor Garrison if you have the rank 3 Fishing hut.
The person making the group had a rank 3 fishing hut so anyone can get a chance at fishing it up. Mine is rank 3 however fishing in a group is greatly beneficial as the things we fish up and throw back to spawn a cavedweller that we kill and loot for the mount chance... sooo more people, more chances.
So much dead cavedwellers in the water!
The group was really good and very supportive of others trying to get this mount. Some thought that this was the best place to catch another mount the Sea turtle in here. From what I read you do have a chance to get it here, but I don't think this was the best option to fish it up here.
I caught mine back in Wrath in Moa'ki Harbor in Dragonblight. It didn't take me long from what I remember. The person making the group was after this one as they already caught the Riding Turtle.
However this was NOT the end of my time here fishing. I wanted to help others BUT I did have an ulterior motive... I still needed Nat coins to buy a mount from Nat. I really didn't think I would get this one cuz I've been trying to fish for coins since WoD and I've only got 20... the mount costs 100. But while I was fishing for the mount, I gathered 40 coins... I needed 40 more!!! so after I got the mount, I was willing to stay... to help others and to help myself of course! The group leader was done for the night but said he would post for another group the next day. I said I'd watch out for the group and help them (and myself) tomorrow.
Next day came and I looked for the group, joined and continued my fishing. Some others from the night before joined again as well, and I saw some of them get their mounts... YAY!!! I fished for my coins and finally collected my 100. Went to Nat and bought my Crimson water strider mount. Im so happy!!!! I'm officially done fishing in WoD! But still, as I do, stay and help others.
Also may I note another dumb thing that made me smile...
I loved that the group called me "Skully" even tho they didn't know me. <3
