The game's story aspect has faced significant criticism, primarily due to the removal of story quests and the overwhelming reliance on in-app purchases to progress. Players express frustration over the lack of accessible missions, which are often gated behind paywalls, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the narrative without spending substantial amounts of money. While some users appreciate the graphics and side quests, the overall sentiment indicates that the story experience is diminished by technical issues and a focus on monetization.

Overall, the experience is mixed, with some players appreciating the grind while others find it mind-numbing and unbalanced.
- “It's relaxing, has great graphics, and is not tedious at all (at least not in my experience). It does exactly what a mobile game is supposed to do.”

- “New review: performance is still horrible. I cannot play duel; accessing either clans, rods, fish cards, or whatever can cause a loss of connection, leading to a game restart. This takes around a minute to reconnect and then about half a minute to start the game, where you can get an immediate loss of connection.”

The humor in the game is described as a mix of amusing graphics and quirky animations, particularly with the fish flopping around, which players find entertaining. However, many users express frustration with the game's mechanics and customer service, leading to a sense of irony where the developers seem to be laughing at players' misfortunes. Overall, while the game starts off funny and engaging, it can quickly become tedious and frustrating, overshadowing the initial humor.
- “Pretty colors and mindless catching all different nice fish, little ones to big ones. It's hilarious; you just catch digital fish with a high success rate, but sometimes fail. There are like some fish bosses at certain leveling up stages of gaining more hooks and gear to get bigger fish, which are harder to catch. Lol, it's all you want in a fishing game.”
- “The graphics and animation of each fish are hilarious; when you tap, they flop just like the real thing.”
- “This is an amazing game, but the funny part is when the jetski came, there was no driver.”

- “Too bad it isn't available on Steam, or lets you disable the music after catching fish.”
