Bigben Interactive has now brought the whole thing together, base game and all the DLC, into one package for consoles and PC."
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.

But you'll also probably know that those fishing games are few and far between, with just the recent Fishing Sim World, and Dovetail's Euro Fishing standing out as viable options. Today though a new fishing experience has rocked up onto Xbox One and PC, with Fishing Planet running the free route if you so wish."
I really love that this game exists
