This fishing game awards bonus XP for no-scoping an airborne mackerel, and I think that's beautiful

The player takes aim at an airborne fish in How to Fish.

I've spent precious little time in my life with a line in the water, but I admire fishing in the abstract as an alignment of man and his environment through pelagic contemplation. Based on what I'm seeing from upcoming co-op angling game How to Fish, however, I've apparently missed some critical bits of the fishing equation. Bits like whipping a fish out of the water so you can quick-scope it in midair with a bolt-action rifle for bonus XP.

The description on the How to Fish Steam listing doesn't do it justice: "You and your friends are out drinking and boating. You crash into a small island where you have to fish using everything from fishing rods to assault rifles," it explains. "Sell your catch, earn money, buy better fishing gear, and defeat boss fishes to unlock new islands and finally make it back home."
