Bass Fishing Tournament is fairly straightforward. You just need to catch as many fish as you can in the provided time given before weigh in.

The deeper you snag a fish, the more they are worth in weight. However, bigger fish are stronger and more forceful making it no easy task to land them in your boat. You must land the fish into your boat in order to receive the weight points. There is an audio notification of three beeps when you have 20 seconds left in the round. Achieving a score of 1,800 or greater will allow access to level two, while a score of 3,600 or greater will grant access to level three.

Level four requires 5,400 - Level five requires 7,200 and Level six requires 10,800. Your time will replenish for another 4 minutes per round, when achieving these scores. If you have a fish hooked and it hits the edge of the screen, he will escape off of the hook. There are rumours of a big ol' lunker lurking around the depths, but he very rarely pops his head out. If you see him and have the chance to snag him, go for it, he's worth his weight. Although he will put up a decent fight, so be prepared, it will not be easy.

The fire button reels in the hook, lure, and if there is a fish caught, the joystick controls the direction of the rod and reel, along with the line and hook underwater. In the lower right is the timer per round and the force/tension is displayed in the lower left corner.
