When Fishing Video Games are Better Than REAL Fishing
This is when fishing video games are better than real fishing! It’s the middle of January, and the brutal winter conditions make me wish I had just stayed home and played video games. Over the past two days, I managed to catch only two fish, proving that cold-weather fishing can be a serious challenge. The first fish came from a small winter creek, and the second one came from a much larger creek the next day. The problem is, I don’t even know what kind of fish it was! If you can identify the second fish, be sure to leave a comment below.
To make things worse, the final fishing spot I visit is completely covered in ice! When the fishing gets this tough, I can’t help but think that fishing video games are sometimes better than real-life fishing. Maybe it’s time to fire up Super Black Bass on the SNES and try my luck in a virtual tournament instead. Have you ever had a day so bad that you’d rather be fishing in a video game? Let me know in the comments!

Bass Fishing at Home! Japan Lake Tournament (Black Bass on NES)
Today, I’m bass fishing at home in the Japan Lake tournament while playing Black Bass on NES. The difficulty has ramped up, and these fish are getting much harder to catch. While I’m still getting bites, I’m struggling to land the bass I actually need to win the tournament. Instead, I’m catching plenty of smaller bass and even some large fish that won’t help me in the standings.
To make matters worse, I lost two lures to aggressive, jumping bass, which really threw off my confidence. That was enough to make me quit the tournament for now, but I’ll have to try my luck at Japan Lake again in the future. This game might be old-school, but Black Bass on NES still offers a serious challenge, especially as the tournaments get tougher. Have you ever played this game? Let me know how far you made it!

I Tried Fishing During the Polar Vortex! Freezing Cold Fishing
I just tried fishing during the polar vortex, and let me tell you, this was some of the coldest fishing I’ve ever done in Tennessee. With temperatures at 27 degrees and a wind chill that makes it feel like 16 degrees, I knew this was going to be a brutal day. But that didn’t stop me from heading out with a simple float rig and red worms to see if I could still catch some fish.
Surprisingly, despite the freezing cold weather, I managed to catch a variety of bluegill! The air might be brutal, but the water temperature is still hovering around 40 degrees, which is just warm enough to keep the fish active. If you’re willing to brave the cold, you might still be able to catch a few fish like I did. Have you ever fished in extreme winter conditions? Let me know how it went for you!
