My unending ranking of fishing mini-games

I love fishing mini games, and from now on any game I play with a fishing minigame in it will be added to this list. Please feel free to yell at me in the comments to play a game if it has a good fishing mini game in it please.

I really like the fishing mini game in this! You are presented with a vertical bar, within which a little fish bobs around at random. You have to press X to start raising a rectangular zone in order to keep the fish inside it. Whilst the fish is inside it you fill a meter, and when it's not the meter starts to deplete. Theres a really nice feeling to doing this, as the zone rises and falls with a strange momentum that takes time to learn, that requires patience and skill. A fantastic fishing minigame. No notes.
[DEMO VERSION] oh I like this one! Top down, it feels like you're wrestling with the fish without being overly taxing. I great mixture of challenge and chill, oooh it's very nice.
Fishing mini game with a golf-game-esque power gauge and a Tony-hawk's-grinding-balance-esque gauge. Fun! The song that loops in the background (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vkJSlyXi0M) now officially has the lyrics "Come on here little fishy boy, I'll catch you little fishy boy"
This fishing minigame is decent, if slightly overlong. You cast your line into a body of water (certain bait allows you to catch certain fish in certain places) and wait for a bite. This can take upwards of 20-30 seconds. Once the fish bites, it takes the line out to maximum. You then have to wrestle the fish into submission, pulling the rod in the opposite direction of the fish until it tires, allowing you to reel it in slightly. You repeat this process until either the line breaks from too much tension, the game decides you've lost the fish due to some bullshit collision, or you reel it in and catch it. This whole process, from throwing your line to taking the fish out the water, takes maybe 10-25 seconds too long. Slightly puts me off doing it even though the benefits (fish can give you bonus health when cooked) are fantastic. Still, I have caught one of every type of fish, and I'll be damned if I don't consider that an achievement
This is the worst shit. Bullshit awful fishing. Absolutely no thought put into it at all. Lame ass stupid ass fishing bullshit ass garbage. Fuck you, this shit SUCKS
