They have BASS games, where you can pick different lakes, lures, and presentations, so why not muskies? Include a pick list of pro anglers you can pretend to be, like JLong if you want to catch a bunch of fish or Cady if you don't. I think it has promise. m

There's already a multi-species game out on xbox. Muskies are part of the game. I'll post a review on Dec. 26th.

i know someone who has the game twitcher is referring to.
he's given up trying for muskies on it because it's "too hard."
sounds like this game got it about right!
muskie fishing is definitely not for the instant-gratification crowd.

Musky Doctor is that you??? Sounds like something that we were discussing the other night when we were talking on the phone and I was playing my Trophy Bass game on the computer.

I would like to see a strictly musky version where you could cast, troll or use suckers.

This would take some time to do, but I am sure that you could sell it like crazy. Put me down for a cd for the computer please!!

no its mr.pike. and in the game (like in football games) they should give you a "career" option. where you can fish the pmtt. you should be able to buy baits and rods too. and definitely have differnt bodies of water.

If you're going to make it realistic, then the career option isn't needed to fish the PMTT. Just show up at the virtual rules meeting and pay...off you go.

what would be nice would be if the use of wind, sonar and other environmental "clues" played a part in fish location.

Of course they would have to have a fish or two jump off the board and/or swim through a hole in the net. Let's not forget the Trolling train on shelbyville and the floating debris on cave run.

Rapala has a game out which is multi-spicies and includes muskies, the ladies roommate got it for me for my Bday (PC version). Takes awhile to get the hang of.

That is too funny, Chuck and I were just yapping about something like this the other day. The thing is it would have to be strictly muskie with the occasional non specie thrown in for realism!! A game like those bass games would kick ass!! Don't we have a computer guy around here that would want to make a boatload of cash??

In-Fisherman Freshwater Trophies is out for PC and had thirty species, including fishing muskies on none other than Lake of the Woods. It does take 64MB video card to run the graphics though, but if your like me it's worth an upgrade.

I have the PC version of Rapala Pro Fishing. I have yet to figure out how to cast using the mouse, and the game didn't come with instructions. Could be a long winter.

I did some searching and found a couple places to but the In-Fisherman game. Here are 2 links, both having reviews, w/ some good and some bad reviews. The amazon link has the cheaper price.
