A
fishing video game is a
video game in which the player
fishes. Usually they take the form of
fishing tournaments. Many feature a wide variety of locations in which to fish, fish to catch, and fishing paraphernalia such as
fishing rods,
lures, and
boats. Gameplay usually revolves around reacting quickly to an on-screen trigger that the bait was taken, along with some sort of button press sequence to reel the fish in.
