Pro Cast: Sports Fishing Game is a fishing simulation game developed by Sims Co., Ltd. and published by Capcom. Released in 2002 exclusively for the Xbox, the game offers a realistic angling experience focused on freshwater sport fishing in North America.
Players can choose from several different lakes and rivers, each featuring unique terrain and fish species. The gameplay revolves around selecting appropriate gear—such as rods, reels, and lures—then casting and reeling to attract and catch various types of fish. Weather conditions, time of day, and water depth all play a role in fish behavior and strategy.
The game includes both Tournament and Free Fishing modes. In Tournament mode, players compete against AI opponents over a series of rounds, earning points based on the size and rarity of fish caught. Free Fishing mode allows for more relaxed exploration without time pressure. The game supports analog controls for casting and reeling, and features underwater camera views for tracking fish movements.
Pro Cast: Sports Fishing Game received limited critical attention and did not chart on Metacritic, but it is notable as one of the few fishing titles available on the Xbox.
