Okay at first but it only took me five minutes, and then some umpteen hours, to find a serious problem. The fish never get tired in the game. Ive caught tuna that have had less fight than a five pound perch in this game. The fish never get tired. I hooked a big fish five minutes in and spent hours after that trying to catch it. Id get it nearly all the way in, then it would simply turn and run back out another 100+ feet despite my best efforts. In real life, the fish would have been belly up dead and you dont need to upgrade to the flashiest most expensive gear to catch fish in real life, it is just as possible to catch a good fish on cheap gear as it is expensive gear. Game clearly not designed by fishers.
