Story

An old man, assumed to be the grandfather of the family, tells you that you have the potential to be a "Fishing Master". He has you catch fish in different regions in Japan until you are ready for a tournament, in the tournament you have to catch several of a specific fish and it needs to be bigger, longer, or heavier than the three other named computer characters. You will never see these characters though. After winning the tournament in every region, you'll be crowned the "Fishing Master" by the old man. After you win the tournament, you unlock a secret island where there are more fishing spots and gain access to another tournament. You also have the option to catch every fish and fill out the fish charts which give you little bites of information about the fish.
