    this is the best fishing game that i ever played. has best graphics , great selection of fish species, and is not difficult. alot of people are wondering how to catch catfish. well, guess what? I know how. go to lake ocachobbe 2. use the countdown in minnow color. cast out near alot of grass, or rocks. dont real. just let sit for a while, and if you get board, just go do something else this is the best fishing game that i ever played. has best graphics , great selection of fish species, and is not difficult. alot of people are wondering how to catch catfish. well, guess what?

    This game is awsome but i cant catch a walley to get past it if you know how please let me know. For anyone who is trying to catch a king salmen, use the longcast minnow or LC minnow. Find a salmen and when it sees it real a little slower and then set the hook and fight it. good luck!

    I give this game an eight.It is a nice game but it can be frustrating.It lost one point from me for its slow scrolling through its pro tips and everything else it would be better if i was faster.Now I did not get through the entire game yet so this rating of 8 may change pending the rest of the game.Now the other point was lost because in the tournament mode when you get to the Sacramento I give this game an eight.It is a nice game but it can be frustrating.It lost one point from me for its slow scrolling through its pro tips and everything else it would be better if i was faster.Now I did not get through the entire game yet so this rating of 8 may change pending the rest of the game.Now the other point was lost because in the tournament mode when you get to the Sacramento river and have to fish for striped bass the guide keeps going,"How about a super shad rap, how about a super shad rap"Do not listen to him because he is telling you his because there are also salmon in the river and that is why he says it but you dont want salmon you want striped bass.(hint)On this level you will want to use the gold countdown#7 you will have much success.I cant tell you how many hours I wasted listening to the stupid guide tell me to use the super shad rap.The guide alot of times will say stuff like you better try that again or just recast but most of the time he is wrong so I would not listen to all he has to say.He is helpful though sometimes by lettingyou know where there are fish.He almost made the gam a 7 though but he is not all that bad.Also a cool trick I learned was to use the crosshairs to spin around the lure to see what is around.Good game overall.… Expand

    Herb is a HOSER. Bet he cant catch a fish in real life let alone on Rapala. This game is tops, though the salmon are tough buggers. Best game to play when your too chilled out for your shoot'm ups n bash'm heads in kinda games.

    My friend and i play it, walleye gave us trouble but...once u catch 1 or 2 walleye just move to a different spot. It's challenging and there are no shortcuts.....great work rapala!!!!

    really nice graphics, great concepts of fishing. Should have some plastic worms or jigs to use, and sure could use a fish locator and trolling motor. thats the only gripes. Its a great game!

    I got Rapala Pro Fishing for Christmas '06, and I was so amazed at the graphics. I love to fish, and I go to small lakes all the time. This game is SOOOO alike to REAL fishing, I was stunned. Rapala really put in alot of work into this game making it not only fun, but challenging also. For the Playstation 2, I can easily say that the graphics and gameplay are great, and until they I got Rapala Pro Fishing for Christmas '06, and I was so amazed at the graphics.

    No game will drive you to REM sleep like Rapala Pro Fishing, the greatest sedative available for PS2. [Oct 2004, p.98]

    Easily the best fishing game I have played in a long, long time, and instantly climbs to the top of my list of all-time fishing titles. It's that good. [Oct 2004, p.136]

    Whether you're reeling in a king mackerel in Alaska or a peacock bass in the Amazon, there's still not enough spice to make up for the fact that you're fishing.
