I have found this game to be very fun to play. I dont care for the free fishing pole controller and I wish you could play multi-player without going online. Otherwise, once you figure out the proper technique for catching fish in this game, it is very fun. Dont be frustrated if you dont see any fish at first, you need to go to the tutorial to find out where they are. Remember, for this game to truly be like fishing, you have to have good days and bad days. I recommend it to anyone who has gone fishing for real, but not to someone looking for a all-out-action-type fishing game (there is no such thing). This is one of my favorite games for WII (also like guitar hero and power pros baseball). I have read other reviews elsewhere and was surprised by some of the negative feedback. I think this is the best fishing game I have played yet.

I bought this game yesterday on launch and it's a welcome addition to the Wii. The fishing attachment isn't comfortable for me, so I do without it...although it is well built. This game does not have top tier graphics, but it is not an ugly game and if you are looking for instant domination of the fish in these lakes you are in for a rude awakening. The fish are smart and down right picky...so you have to see what works and then use it. I found that working the tournements will give you better lures and in turn increase your chances of catching those bigs ones that you see in the depths. You have to learn what lure to use for the fish because they are all at different depths and like I said before they are selective of their diet. Once you land a big one you have to set that hook quick...and then hang on!!! These fish will go left, right, up, down...and if you're lucky they even jump out of the lake to show you what you have a chance of catching. It gets pretty intense...and it gets better as your tackle box gets filled up...SO ICE UP THAT VIRTUAL BEER AND GET THE VIRTUAL FRIES CRISPY...GET HOOKED!

My daughter (who is 8) and I both enjoy playing this game. She wanted this one for the fishing controller. The controller is designed so that the you place the wii remote inside the rod unfortunately then the wii remote can't see the tv. Also for those that are right-handed, you tend to hold the wii remote in your right-hand because that really is the primary remote to use in this game. Well the fishing controller is designed for the wii remote in the left-hand. Basically we fount the wii fishing controller complete useless and will throw away. That is why this review gets 4 stars. However the most important is the game and we enjoy seeing who can catch the biggest fish. We both play in tournament mode with a goal of winning the overall tournament for the year. We are enjoying this tremendously
