The game has three selectable modes of play: Beginner, All Fish Challenge and Billfish Challenge. Some of the fish that appear in the game are blue marlin, swordfish, striped marlin and tarpon.
During the play, you must watch the radar to help you detect where the fish are located and then cast your reel. After you have caught a fish, pull the reel towards you until the rod mark bends to the max. The tension gauge will decrease if you push the reel forward quickly. You must try to reel the line in quickly.
Personal Impressions and Technical Impressions each account for half of the total score.
Within the Personal Impressions category, Like
carries a little more weight than the other factors.
