Big Bass Fishing offers three gameplay modes, Arcade, Competition, and Challenge, as well as five specific events for anglers looking to wet their hooks while staying dry. Avoid bugs, insects, and bad weather as you try to outwit the big one in Free Fishing mode, Beat-the-Clock challenges, 2-Day Lunker, and 3-Day All Release contests, or the ultimate 3-Day Tournament. Unlock new locations via 15-minute timed events featuring goals such as catching two fish of any type, or reeling in two or three largemouth, smallmouth, or spotted bass of at least seven pounds in separate challenges.
