- 1. Introduction
-
- Billfish, such as blue marlin, black marlin, and sailfish are known as symbols
- of great fish. They can weigh up to almost 1100 lbs, and they're the dream of
- an angler for their beautiful and huge body. Players will fight with these fish
- as well as shark and other types of big game fish using just one rod and reel,
- in full 3D real time rendering.
-
- The game also allows for close views of jumping, twisting, and diving fish
- on the water as well as swimming fish under the water. This will be enough
- excitement to raise the blood presure of all gamers. Players will fight with
- several kinds of big fish including Sailfish, Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo,
- Tarpon, and many others.
-
- There are also various modes of tournaments in which the player will be able
- to compete in to see who can catch the largest fish in various categories.
- The player will be able to create charachters, have them join fishing clubs,
- and compete with friends over TCP/IP, IPX, serial connections, or a modem
- to find out who the best fisherman in the world is. On the world map, the user
- will be able to select a location, and information will be displayed for the many
- famous places for big game fishing. The player will then be able to move around
- that area during the game. So, have fun, and if you're lucky, you will catch the
- chance to fight with a Beautiful Giant fish.

- 4. How to play
-
- CAST: Click on the CAST button (or press Enter) to cast the bait into the ocean.
- DRAG: This controls the how easily line may by pulled from the reel by a fish.
- If you want to increase the drag, press the "+" key. If you want to decrease
- the drag, press the "-" key. The drag influences the amount of tension on the
- line; as you increase the drag, you increase the tension. If your line keeps
- breaking, try decreasing the drag; this will allow the line to wind from the reel
- more quickly and reduce the tension.
- TIME: This displays the remaining amount of game time.
- TENSION: The tension on the line is displayed in the upper left hand corner of the
- screen with a red bar. The more red that is displayed, the more tension is
- on the line. With too much tension, the line will break, so be careful!
- LINE: This displays the amount of line between the angler and the fish.
- DEPTH: This displays how deep the fish currently is in the ocean.
- MOUSE: When the mouse is moved in small, tight circles, the angler draws back the
- fishing rod.
- LEFT BUTTON: Wind the reel. If there is no fish hooked, this button does nothing.
- RIGHT BUTTON: Instantly pulls the line back into the boat to change the bait.
- When a fish is hooked, this button does nothing.
