Each day (computed at midnight CST), the fisherman with the worldwide best catch of the day will now receive a reward point and epic bait prize! To be eligible, simply fish using the 4.0 rod anywhere in the world. Good luck!

It's finally here! After months of development, Fishing version 4.0 will be available on Saturday, March 17th. We will be holding a series of tournaments on Saturday at Hearts Enchanted while we upgrade new rods, so come on down Saturday and get your free 3.0 to 4.0 upgrade.
