One of the greatest games of our generation This game is so good that you'll ascend to a higher plain of existence then 100% it and ascend again. Anybody who doesn't like this game is objectively wrong Safe to say play this game!
I played this game long time ago and loved it. The game is really unique and interesting, definitely worth $7. Just dont play realism mode. Its way too annoying and basically impossible. I had to reel in Moga for 2 irl hours. Outrageous.

About the game
Start out on an island with a basic rod. Progress into a radar-wielding master fisher-cat scouring the sea for the biggest and baddest fish. Each fish has unique behaviors that you will learn to exploit as you tailor your arsenal of fishing rods to suit your style of play. Mrrrow!
