ROD AND LINE SCREEN
The Rod and Line Screen displays a selection of eight (8) rods, each equipped with varying weights of line.
•Use the Back button or Forward button to scroll through the rod choice.
•Use the Directional button to scroll through the rod descriptions.
•When you have chosen a rod, press the Select button.
TACKLE BOX SCREEN
The Tackle Box is filled with all of your lures.

NOTE: You will begin each game with a default lure.
LIVE WELL SCREEN
The Live Well screen shows you how many fish you have caught and the combined weight of all of the fish. You can hold up to six fish in the Live Well. If the Live Well is full, the smallest fish will go back in the water to make room for the new catch.
•Use the Directional button to scroll through the fish and view their weights.
•Press the Select button to return to the fishing screen.
CASTING YOUR LINE
Gently pull the Line Release toward you. Then flick the rod toward the TV, letting go of the Line Release at the same time. If your cast was successful, you’ll hear the lure land in the water. The Lineout indicator will show you how far your line was cast. Your lure will appear as a red dot in the bottom half of the fishing screen.
ATTRACTING FISH
Once you cast your lure, you can use it to attract the fish. Turn the reel slowly to keep the lure moving through the water; otherwise, the lure will sink to the bottom. You may want to experiment with different lures, line weights, speed and lure movements (little jerks and drops) to see what works best for attracting the fish.
LURE CAM
When a fish comes within a certain range of your lure, a “Lure Cam” window will pop up and zoom in on it. This lets you see whether you’re playing your lure to attract the fish, and when the fish finally takes the bait.
SETTING THE HOOK
When a fish bites your lure, the fishing rod will vibrate. You must jerk the rod back quickly and firmly to secure the fish and prepare for reeling it in.
•If you do not hook the fish, it will spit the lure out and go away.
REELING IT IN
Once you hook a fish, don’t waste any time reeling it in. You’ll need to keep your line tight enough with the drag and the reel so that the fish can not release, while still allowing enough slack to let the fish run without breaking the line. If your line snaps or you lose your rod, you will need to choose a new rod and/or lure.
ADJUSTING THE DRAG
To adjust the drag on your line, turn the drag dial located on the reel.
GREAT CATCH SCREEN
When you successfully land a largemouth bass, the Great Catch screen will pop up and Hank Parker will congratulate you: “Nice catch!”. You’ll also see the weight of your catch.
•If you want to put the fish in your Live Well, use the Back button or Forward button to highlight the Live Well icon. Press the Select button to return to the fishing screen.
•If you want to release the fish, use the Back or Forward buttons to high- light the word “Release”. Press the Select button to return to the fishing screen.
