King Salmon (キングサーモン), sold in the US as King Salmon: The Big Catch, is a 1992 fishing game by HOT-B for the Sega Mega Drive.

You start off in an overhead view of your boat on the lake, and you must row to where salmon are biting. causes the boat to move and selects a spot to fish. Once you have found a spot where salmon will show up, the screen zooms in up close to your boat with some green bait in tow. returns to the larger overhead view to find another spot. Be careful not to hit other fishermen! (TODO what do you do when you actually see a fish?!)
