Exciting Fishing 2 (JP)
What am I seeing here?
PlayStation memory card icons are only 16 pixels square! That’s very tiny for modern screens so what I’ve created are 2 versions of each: one at 32 pixels that’s close to the original scale and a much larger one at 256 pixels. Swipe through them and look for captions or Fun Facts below. And while you’re here:

FUN FACT
Here’s one that constantly trips up search results on the internet. For reasons unknown, Konami chose to name the English release of this game Fisherman’s Bait 2: Big Ol’ Bass and its direct sequel simply Big Ol’ Bass 2. Both titles contain ‘Big Ol’ Bass’ and the number ‘2’ but are totally different games. In Japan it’s much more straightforward as Exciting Fishing 2 and Exciting Fishing 3.
Maybe they were planning to ditch the Fisherman’s Bait name and make a series of Big Ol’ Bass titles but they never did. Regardless, if you somehow ended up on this page and if you’re looking for the outlandish post-apocalyptic, monster-fish fishing game, it’s Big Ol’ Bass 2 that you want!
