This game was THE game for me as a kid.
I remember that we picked it up at the local video store and I took it home and was amazed. Something about the fish, music, and locations really made this game feel captivating. When my rental period was up, me and my parents left to take the game back. On the way back I remember starting to bawl my eyes out because I didn't want to see the game go. I vividly remember hearing my parents call the rental store and ask if we could purchase it and they agreed. Needless to say, I still have that exact disc and it is special to me. I'd always loved fishing growing up but had never knew about what types of fish were in the ocean. This game felt like my way to discover and learn more about fishing.
I am also very happy to see interest in the game. I will be trying my hardest to fight for the top spot!
