No Yota, don’t say that! You’ve gotta fight for that fishing mini-game!
There are plenty of examples of well implemented fishing mini-games in MMO’s and other games. My two personal favorites – Final Fantasy XI and Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass. Catching a fish shouldn’t just be like pulling a cabbage out of the ground, you should have to fight to land that fish. The bigger the fish, the harder the fight!
