Games Asylum: "Remember the days when EA released standalone, non-annual, FIFAs based on the World Cup and the UEFA league? They reused the most recent engine while adding new tournaments and modes, altering presentation accordingly. The Catch: Carp & Coarse is the fishing equivalent to a FIFA off-shoot, building on Fishing Sim World’s sturdy foundation to create something fresh yet familiar."
The best fishing games allow us to escape into a world that is often relaxing, sometimes competitive, and even a matter of survival.
Bass Masters Classic for the SNES was pretty great
EDIT: Author should be arrested for saying RDR2 has the best fishing minigame without even so much as mentioning any of the Zeldas. Criminal.
The Catch is fantastic to stick on when you just can't get out on the water in real life. The landing of a fish in this game is super satisfying.

You'll want to purchase the latest DLC pack for The Catch, as the Lake Beasts Equipment Pack brings no less than 53 new items to the fishing party."
