About this game

Black Bass with Blue Marlin is a PlayStation fishing game focused on both freshwater and saltwater angling. Players can fish for black bass and blue marlin across a wide selection of fishing spots.

Multiple camera options support different play styles. An underwater view offers a more arcade-like perspective by showing the fish fight, while the above-water view provides a more simulation-oriented experience in which the fish remains unidentified until it is brought in.

Success depends on selecting suitable lures and using the right technique rather than simply casting a line. Angler Hank Parker can also provide advice when catches are hard to find.

Developed and published by Hot-B, the game was released for PlayStation on August 17, 1999.
