Black bass

A video game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System which involved fishing. The game consisted of choosing a location to fish, casting your fishing rod, and then reeling the fish in before it got turned into a pile of bones by the other fish in the lake, or died.

As far as I know, this is the only fishing game made for a console, since (for some reason) the genre of fishing video game never took off.
