However, I know that not everyone is interested in sitting in the rain to catch tiny fish as I am, so after reviewing the game it got me thinking about how I would explain the whole world of fishing to an angling muggle, as it were. I hope in this little article to try and explain my thought processes for approaching the game, and give you a bit of a clue, and a few hints and tips, as to how to be more successful in winkling those Boss Fish out of their lairs."
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."
