Matsukata Hiroki no Super Trawling

After catching a fish weighing 340 kilograms, the player prepares to go after the other fish in the sea.

The player gets to fish with Hiroki Matsukata in exotic fishing venues around the world.[1] These places include Mozambique, Cuba and Australia.[5] A typical fish in the game weighs around 340 kilograms or 750 pounds, but the actual weight of the fish depends on the geographic location of the boat in addition to player skill.[6]

Once the player catches a fish, the player must fight it in order to make a successful catch. Whoever gets their bar to the farthest edge of the screen first loses the fight; the fish would become completely placid while the angler would lose his lure. The player is constantly accompanied by a female non-player character who occasionally offers advice. All maps have a specific name for each of the areas that have been allocated for fishing.[7] In later tournaments, players must release fish that weigh less than 100 pounds or 45 kilograms.[6]

Japanese language text dominates the game. Like in most fishing games, players have a strict time limit. Different kinds of fishing lures are used in order to attract fish. Players must take their fishing vessel to different squares on a board in order to get to the fishing sequences. All measurements in the game use the metric system.[1]
