I never went fishing with my dad either, so we're in the same boat.

[ Fishing puns. Though, Snake had gone fishing once with one of his foster parents, but that wasn't really the same... He wondered what fishing with Big Boss would have been like. Probably dramatic. ]

As for new Pokémon, I'm not really sure... I've seen a lot of people catching Magikarp, and as far as I'm aware, it's pretty useless... But hey, it's your first time, so...

[ Snake reached over and took the rod from Otacon. ] You can't just leave the thing motionless. Switch around the lure a bit so it looks like something that's alive; that way the fish will go for it. If you get a bite, pull back on the rod.

[ The old soldier rubbed his chin a bit. ] Reeling it in doesn't hurt either. If it's tough, I'll help you out.
