Favorite Fishing Video Game!

[Pz3]

For all the video gaming types on here. What was your favorite fishing game of all time?!

[thehooligan]

Fishing on Atari, lol. I liked jimmy Houston's game on super Nintendo. Last game I played was Sega fishing on Dreamcast, pretty good game.

[flyfisher]

I haven't found one yet that i like after a few hours of play time

Super Nintendo, Bassin Black bass with Hank Parker played that aaaaaalot.

Bass Pro Shops The Strike: Tournament Edition.  There's an option to turn off the under water camera, it feels ALMOST like real fishing lol, and has tournaments and BPS Gear to purchase.

The strike is pretty good, and Mark Davis Fishing Master was probably my favorite as a kid back on SNES. I liked all those old games though because I spent so much time playing them as a kid. I had Jimmy Houston's game, Bass Masters Classic, as well as Super Black Bass.

As a kid I played a game called Trophy Bass 2 for windows 98 a lot. I still have the discs and can still get it to run in a Windows XP virtual machine. I was playing it last month and saw a camera icon I had never clicked on. I clicked on it and up pops a fishing tip video from 1996 Kevin Van Dam. Pretty funny seeing how young he was.

There was a play station 2 game called Top Angler. Holy crap it was/still is the best fishing video game ever made (barring maybe the strike, I have never played). What made Top Angler so good was that (almost) every lure did exactly what it was supposed to do. Jigs worked when popped off bottom, dragged, swam with jerks, or pitched to bass. It had texas rigged worms and a lizard, the cranks worked the way they were supposed to, and it had willow and colorado spinnerbaits. Basically the lures worked the way they do in real life and there was also a large variety of lures to choose from.

I've tried a few other fishing games, one being Rapala, but what really makes the game off putting is the restriction of only rapala crankbaits, as well as the fact that every fish was caught exactly the same way which was extremely boring.

I also had a Cabela's Big Bass for PS2 and I played it for maybe 20min. Every single lure worked exactly the same way, slow sink and retrieved while moving in a circle; it didnt matter if it was a jig, crankbait, or worm. Exact same way. Also when you hooked a fish, even a small one, the fight would take 3+ minutes every time, and the fight would involve a bunch of bonuses and arcade style power-up style things going on.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii has an excellent fishing mini-game that many still consider to be the best fishing experience available on any system.

You can fish a Spook, Torpedo, popper, a spoon, and a weedless frog. Theres' s also cane pole fishing from the bank.

[alexczarn]

I enjoyed the Rapala Pro fishing.

[pbrussell]

There are a couple of bass fishing games that are actually ok, but they are all dated.

Mark Davis the fishing master for snes was a good one. I play an emulated version on my computer.

Trophy Bass 4 by sierra is probably the most realistic fishing game around. 

 

The newer games, sadly, can't hold a candle to those two for some reason or another.

[fishinthedacks]

I like the wii fishing games and as a kid the handheld game shaped like a rod and reel where you'd feel it vibrate was hours of fun.

[slainempire]

tnn bass tournament of champions for snes

[flyingmonkie]

"Reel Fishing" for PS1.  It came with a fishing remote that vibrated when you caught a fish. It was very much a simulation - no annoying voices or graphics - sometimes you'd go 10 or 15 minutes without a bite.  I still have it somewhere and have threatened to hook it all back up more than once.

 

Hands down.

Black Bass with Blue Marlin on PS1. I have an emulator on my laptop and play it all the time still. It was a hank parker game as well. You can play blackbass till your board and jump over to the other side of the game and catch huge marlin lol.
