Sure, you could play the game with the standard controller, but what made this game really fun was the fishing rod controller. For the most part, the controller worked, and it led to a rather fun arcade experience for the Dreamcast owners.
I remember it was one of those games that actually showed off the potential of the Dreamcast back in the day with its realistic fish movements. Now, let’s cut to 2011 and play Sega Bass Fishing once again this time on the current generation consoles.
The best fishing games allow us to escape into a world that is often relaxing, sometimes competitive, and even a matter of survival.

EDIT: Author should be arrested for saying RDR2 has the best fishing minigame without even so much as mentioning any of the Zeldas. Criminal.
