Bass Fishing Video Games

I played "Bass Strike" on my PS2 last night. I think it's a pretty old game and overall, it wasn't that great.

But of course, that didn't stop me from wasting a few hours tyring to win a tourney.

After playing that horrible "Bass Strike" video game last night, I kept thinking of all the things that are wrong with most fishing video games:

1. Realistic fish. Last night I caught a 5 fish stringer totalling 70+ lbs... give me a break. And the fights aren't realistic. Just a lot of splashing and long runs peeling off 100 feet of line. Haven't the programing nerds ever fished before?

2. Real competition. Why isn't Kevin Van Dam and those people in the games? The game had B.A.S.S. all over it, but the competition was completely made up.

3. Real lakes. The game should have Lake Okeechobee and Table Rock and real places that the tour actually fishes. I had never heard of the lakes in my game.

4. No underwater camera, at least, not while fishing. I'm sorry, but I hate that.  I'd rather have more realistic fishing and less underwater graphics.

There are probably a hundred other things wrong with most fishing games, but those were the things that stood out to me the most.
