Gaming, including online gaming, has come a long ways over the years. The graphics and realistic effects just continue to evolve, rapidly getting better and better as technology expands.
However, finding a game that extremely closely emulates fishing like the real thing has yet to come. Although, there are quite a few that are very close to representing the realness of life like fishing without actually being out on the water.
Even so, you'll probably be standing in your living room with a remote controlled fishing pole on a mat that represents a boat, and smacking over knick knacks while simulating a ferocious hook set. If you're going to go through all that then you might as well be out on the water actually catching fish, right? Unless of course, certain circumstances defy you the opportunities, like a blizzard and sub zero temps.
In the meantime, you can kick back, relax, and fish from the comfort of your own home using the 'net ... no pun intended. Well, maybe a little.
