THE LEGEND CAN BE YOU!

They say there's legendary fish in these lakes. Many have
heard about them. A few have even seen them. But no
one, absolutely no one has ever caught them - that is, until
now! Now you can become the legend after you catch all
4 of these elusive beauties. Good luck! You're going to
need it!

MAKE THAT CAST!

Once you've positioned your boat and chosen your Lure
(see CHANGE BAIT, above), it's time to cast!

Press and hold the CAST / ON / LINE button and cast as
if you were casting an actual rod and reel. Pull your hand
back, grip the handle tightly, and "whip" it forward.
Remember, the harder you cast, the farther your line and
lure will go.

If your lure lands on the shore, slowly reel in your line until
it hits water. However, you're probably going to "snag"
your hook on something. Making the same casting motion
(but backwards), try to jerk it free. If your line breaks, you'll
have to change your bait. Either way, it's best not to land
your hook on the shore.

FIND THOSE FISH!

Once your lure is in the water, it's up to you to slowly reel
it in until you get a bite. In this "sonar view," you can see
where your lure is in relation to the surrounding fish.

Just be very careful not to snag your lure on an obstacle
near the bottom of the lake. If you do, your line may break
and you'll lose your bait. Just like on land, you may be
able to jerk your line free, but the bottom line is: avoid
snagging anything but a fish!

NOTE: For the best chance at getting a "bite", try to posi­tion your lure just in front of the fish.

If you get a bite, you must quickly "set the hook" by jerk­ing the Rod and Reel backwards. When fish "bite" the lure,
the rod will vibrate.

NOW REEL 'EM IN!

Once you've hooked a fish, it's up to you to reel it in with­out breaking your line and losing your bait AND the fish!
Keep an eye on that Tension Meter! If the tension is too
high, try reeling in slower. If the fish jumps, jerk the Rod
and Reel to keep from losing it.

You may also adjust the Drag by moving the DIRECTION­AL PAD up and down while you reel. Push the DIREC­TIONAL PAD Left and Right to help pull the fish Left and
Right. That is, if the fish goes to the left, you have to press
left, otherwise the line will break and the fish is let loose. It
is same case for the fish go to right.

Everything needs to be just right. Too much tension, and
your line will break. Too little tension, and the fish will get
away. The more you practice, the better you'll be.

TOURNAMENT MODE

Now it's time to test your skills in a fishing tournament!

in the main menu. Then move the DIRECTIONAL PAD

THE LAKES AND THEIR FISH

Each of the 4 lakes represents a lake in a different region
of the United States. Because of this, the fish found in
each lake will be slightly different and prefer different types
of lures. Each lake will also have 1 legendary fish that you
can catch after you've caught enough of the other fish.

all 4 of the lakes. They are a standard sports-fish that is
