yes, you used to have to net the fish yourself on PC but the system implemented was too complicated and not a fair reflection of the real process so we made it an automated system. We want to get to looking at reintroducing it though but it would need to be a much better way than what we had before
Why not try, when you get to the landing part of bringing the fish in you then use the left stick to manoeuvre the net under it. Keeping the right stick pulled back so the rods vertical and keeping tension.
Glum. Just feels a little too simple on ps4 with the landing. Ok, maybe try having a power bar like on simple casting but for the landing net. So when you hit it right, in the green section of the bar, you land the fish. If you don't you have to play it again for a short amount of time?
