i thought the tourney ended at 5 but it was 430. a pound a minute is harsh.

fishing stuff has never been my thing but i find this game melts time away, enjoying it.

Lake 2 is going great for me, but I basically have to try to finish the game by tomorrow with my work schedule.

I genuinely cannot get a single fish to even bite my frog. I'm going back to an easier game like Sunbreak

A 5 pound bluegill apparently qualifies as a monster.

gently caress

Edit: apparently a broken rod is like a broken line in that you lose your lure, but also a half hour to replace it. Don't think I'm gonna clutch out lake 3 on this attempt.

I didn't even know that could happen.



Just barely managed lake 3. Luckily you don't have to win to move on to the last lake.

We should modify the final trophy to just beating lake 4. Just try to place in the top 3 of lake 3

Pretty sure that's what it means. Getting top 3 means you beat it.

The best I could do was 14 pounds but it got stuck under a pile of garbage and the game wouldn't let it's stamina drain because it couldn't surface to do the fighting animation. It took me forever to get it unstuck.



Not a single fish under 10 pounds on the last lake and I still won by less than a pound. Still, I was not expecting to finish the game at all so I'm happy.

For the big dudes I repeatedly tap the reel in button until they spend some of their stamina and don't reel in at all when I'm pulling up keep the hook in. When their bar turn yellow there doesn't seem to be any danger of snapping as long as you aren't trying to reel in and pull at the same time.

When the fish sticks its head out of the water, I stop reeling and press down to pull the rod all the way back, then let go until the rod is all the way forward again. Then repeat that. When the fish jumps, I stop reeling. That’s when sometimes the line just suddenly breaks for me. If the fish is underwater and the line is about to break, I stop reeling and hold up until the fish swims away a bit. Eventually the big fish tire out and you can slowly reel it in.
