For all the video gaming types on here. What was your favorite fishing game of all time?!
Fishing on Atari, lol. I liked jimmy Houston's game on super Nintendo. Last game I played was Sega fishing on Dreamcast, pretty good game.
wow....dreamcast. i almost forgot that system even existed.
I haven't found one yet that i like after a few hours of play time
black bass.
There is some pc bass sim...can't recall the name. almost full control with tournaments and tons of lakes.
very hard to find it now
Super Nintendo, Bassin Black bass with Hank Parker played that aaaaaalot.
Bass Pro Shops The Strike: Tournament Edition. There's an option to turn off the under water camera, it feels ALMOST like real fishing lol, and has tournaments and BPS Gear to purchase.

yep i loved that game...if you have a phone with the android system you can actually download a super nintendo emulator and play it
The strike is pretty good, and Mark Davis Fishing Master was probably my favorite as a kid back on SNES. I liked all those old games though because I spent so much time playing them as a kid. I had Jimmy Houston's game, Bass Masters Classic, as well as Super Black Bass.
As a kid I played a game called Trophy Bass 2 for windows 98 a lot. I still have the discs and can still get it to run in a Windows XP virtual machine. I was playing it last month and saw a camera icon I had never clicked on. I clicked on it and up pops a fishing tip video from 1996 Kevin Van Dam. Pretty funny seeing how young he was.
There was a play station 2 game called Top Angler. Holy crap it was/still is the best fishing video game ever made (barring maybe the strike, I have never played). What made Top Angler so good was that (almost) every lure did exactly what it was supposed to do. Jigs worked when popped off bottom, dragged, swam with jerks, or pitched to bass. It had texas rigged worms and a lizard, the cranks worked the way they were supposed to, and it had willow and colorado spinnerbaits. Basically the lures worked the way they do in real life and there was also a large variety of lures to choose from.
I've tried a few other fishing games, one being Rapala, but what really makes the game off putting is the restriction of only rapala crankbaits, as well as the fact that every fish was caught exactly the same way which was extremely boring.
I also had a Cabela's Big Bass for PS2 and I played it for maybe 20min. Every single lure worked exactly the same way, slow sink and retrieved while moving in a circle; it didnt matter if it was a jig, crankbait, or worm. Exact same way. Also when you hooked a fish, even a small one, the fight would take 3+ minutes every time, and the fight would involve a bunch of bonuses and arcade style power-up style things going on.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii has an excellent fishing mini-game that many still consider to be the best fishing experience available on any system.
You can fish a Spook, Torpedo, popper, a spoon, and a weedless frog. Theres' s also cane pole fishing from the bank.
I enjoyed the Rapala Pro fishing.
There are a couple of bass fishing games that are actually ok, but they are all dated.
Mark Davis the fishing master for snes was a good one. I play an emulated version on my computer.
Trophy Bass 4 by sierra is probably the most realistic fishing game around.
The newer games, sadly, can't hold a candle to those two for some reason or another.
I like the wii fishing games and as a kid the handheld game shaped like a rod and reel where you'd feel it vibrate was hours of fun.
tnn bass tournament of champions for snes
"Reel Fishing" for PS1. It came with a fishing remote that vibrated when you caught a fish. It was very much a simulation - no annoying voices or graphics - sometimes you'd go 10 or 15 minutes without a bite. I still have it somewhere and have threatened to hook it all back up more than once.
Hands down.

Trophy Bass 4
Fisherman's Bait A Bass Challenge for PS1.
Rapala pro bass fishing on the ps3!
Black Bass with Blue Marlin on PS1. I have an emulator on my laptop and play it all the time still. It was a hank parker game as well. You can play blackbass till your board and jump over to the other side of the game and catch huge marlin lol.

I played the crap out of that game. Heck I remember even winning some free games and baits in some online tournaments. Bassins Black Bass is my favorite for the SNES. On the Genesis, I played King Salmon Fishing a lot. I never could get past the last level where your goal was to catch a 100+ lbs king salmon.

d**n you for sharing this!! LOL
I like the "Video game" played while actually fishing.
Picking off deep marked bass with a drop shot is pretty cool.
A-Jay
Remember on NES Black Bass when that whopper would hit and it would take you 1.5 hours to reel him in. Every time you tried to reel it was the line tension through the roof. 9 out of 10 times you hooked him you lost him.
I tried Let's Fish Hooked on! on my Vita a while back its not bad for a newer fishing game. if you can get it cheap i recommend it for some handheld fishing. Similar to the classic Sega Bass Fishing.
Nintendo Black Bass
Xbox 360 Minecraft and rapala
Mostly play on the ipad now, BPS fishing game, and saltwater kings.
I fish therefore I rarely play a fishing video game, mostly racing sims, like Forza 5 and iRacing

There goes my day...
SUPER BLACK BASS on SNES.
Also, I LOVED those hand held fishing games where you actually had to set the hook physically.
I really have only played one bass fishing game and that is Sega bass fishing

I used to have a game for pc it was awesome very life like. Just can't Remeber fhe name of it!
My BottomLine depth finder had a video game built into it. A scuba diver shooting sharks, I guess it was meant to keep kids entertained when they got bored with fishing .
Spotting and catching smallies on my graph.
Are there any decent ipad fishing games?
Sitting down while fishing is almost like a video game...lol
In winter time growing up me and my dad would play super black bass for super Nintendo all day long till temps got warmer. I would kill to find a super Nintendo and that game again
Trophy Bass 3D and Rapala Pro Fishing were my favourites!
Oh, and also Reel Fishing 2, 3, and Wild. and Championship Bass. And Big Ol' Bass 2 (the one with crazy fictional fish). And (obscure fishing game alert!) Killer Bass.
Yeah...I loved fishing games when I was a kid. Collected every one that I saw.

That will work I'll just play super black bass on the calcasieu river or Toledo bend
This is the game I played this winter. https://www.fishao.com/?ref=CodyRapala&affId=423. It's called fishao. It isn't bass fishing but I like it.

I played the first one until the disc burnt then I got the second one lol.
The very best is Sega Bass Fishing for Dreamcast. Black Bass for original NES is also great and a classic. There are a couple good ones for SNES also.
The only fishing video games I've ever played are bathymetry by Navionics and cartography by Lakemaster

I never owned this game but I always rented it as a kid.
I don't think I beat the game.
Also it was cool that you can find hidden baits in each map.

I also rented this game a lot on the genesis and I never landed a salmon.... I barely had any hits.
Haha..I didn't know how to troll or how to get a fish to strike.
I would remember my bait would turn red or something.
Sega bass fishing is goat
I have played quite a few fishing games over the years. These are some of my favorites.
TNN Bass Tournament of Champions SNES
Super Black Bass Snes
Trophy Bass (any version) PC
Currently I have been playing a bunch on my Wii. I must have about 15 or so fishing games for the Wii, with my favs being Sega Bass Fishing, Fishing Resort, BPS The Strike and Reel Fishing. The real-motion plus controls adds a nice touch.
As Stork had said in a previous post, the Twilight Princess game for the Wii has a mini fishing game in it that is awesome!
For all those you had played the older games on the Snes. I still play them now on my andoid phone and tablet. Just download a Snes emulator from the play store and then google the rom which are free legal downloads. You'll be reliving old times!! The same can be done for Ps1 and Ps2.
EA Sports Championship Bass for PC was fun.
