                      Marlin are often targeted in major fishing tournaments
                    around the world. To be a true fishing champion, one must
                    find a 
                      Viking Yacht for sale big enough to travel hundreds of
                    miles. 
                      Striped Marlin are a particular sought after species
                    in these tournaments.

                    meter.  Release the mouse button to cast the
                    hook.  After casting, hold down the mouse button to
                    reel in your line. 
                    Mouse - Move the fishing rod left and right while
                    reeling in the line. 
                 To get
                    started in Fishing Champion, press the START button on the
                    main game screen.  It is located on the right hand side
                    directly above the fish.  You will then be shown a
                    screen that describes the items listed on the HUD. 
                    They include total score, the ability to mute or adjust the
                    music level in the game, open instructions, money earned
                    from catching fish, open the map, open the fish list, select
                    your bobber, the number of worms that you have left in your
                    inventory, a picture of the fish that can be caught for
                    bonus points (i.e., extra cash) and the casting power meter. 
                 If you would
                    like to become the fishing champion, there are a total of
                    six fishing holes.  Each hole has a cash catch
                    goal.  Complete each fishing hold tournament by earning
                    the cash catch goal.  Each fish in the game has a
                    different cash value, so you may want to focus on the high
                    dollar fish  to maximize your earnings. 
                 To cast the
                    rod, click on it and hold down the left mouse button. 
                    You will then see your casting power meter activated which
                    displays how far your rod will cast out into the
                    water.  Release the mouse button to cast the
                    hook.  After casting, hold down the mouse button to
                    reel in the hook (and hopefully a fish!).  You want to
                    make sure to reel your hook close to a fish.  If they
                    don't see your bait, you will have no chance in catching
                    them.  When the fish glows red, they are interested in
                    your bait, so do not move your hook at all.  When a
                    fish glows green, the fish is waiting to see if your bait
                    will move so move it just a little bit.  If you move it
                    too little or too much at this point, the fish will likely
                    lose interest.  When the fish bites your hook, it will
                    glow yellow.  That is when it is time to reel it
                    in.  Make sure you jerk the fishing rod back and forth
                    across the screen to sink the hook in properly.  If you
                    fail to do this, your bait (and the fish) will be gone.
