What Reel Fishing is

Reel Fishing is a simulator game developed by Victor Interactive Software and released in 1996. It was published by Marvelous. It is available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Reel Fishing is designed to create a realistic angling experience in the comfort of the gamer's living room. Strategy comes in choosing the right lure for the circumstance and it takes skill to hook the big ones and reel them in successfully. Underwater shots and "fish-eye" views of the lure offer a perspective on the sport that few ever see on an actual outing. Players can even take a "picture" of their prize catch before releasing it back into the virtual wild.
