Monster Bass Fishing (Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2004)

Monster Bass Fishing has players reeling in an assortment of nine fish while boating across five tranquil lakes. After selecting the appropriate bait and finding a good spot, players can cast the line and patiently wait for a nibble. The object is to catch as many fish as possible within the allotted time, as the fisherman who nets the biggest haul advances to next locale. Catching fish is not necessarily a given, however, as players must learn which bait works best in the varied conditions found on the lakes.

Players who defeat the computer opponents on all five lakes will win the coveted Champion's Trophy and unlock an additional venue for competition. The action takes place from two main views: a perspective behind the fisherman as players cast the line and reel in the potential catch, and a view underneath the water as the fish swim to the bait. As an added bonus, players can store their top six catches in a separate aquarium -- visual proof of those that didn't get away.
