American Bass Challenge

American Bass Challenge (Super Black Bass Advance in Japan) is a fishing video game developed by Starfish for the Game Boy Advance. It was published in Japan by Starfish in August 2001, and in North America and Europe by Ubisoft in December 2001 and February 2002, respectively. It's the eleventh game in the Black Bass series, though the Black Bass name wasn't in the title for the North American release. It had a surprisingly in depth character creator.¹
