On fishing, I can never catch a fish with a fin in the water. I have the timing down perfect and get 90% of fish in streams, but go tot he beach and see a fin and it ALWAYS gets away. Is the timing different?

I believe that there is just a little less time when you hear the sound of the fish bobber to when you can press a button to reel it in.  So you have to react quicker on the rare fish like the fin fish. 

Have you caught any like that?  Would love to catch a shark or something.

The key is to push the a button right after you hear the loud splash (louder than the other splashes when they are just nibbling on the hook) from the fish bobber.  I usually keep my finger resting on the a button and then when I hear the loud splash I slam on the a button.  I sometimes even look away from the screen (because I'm less likely to accidently hit the a button when the fish are just nibbling the hook and not fully on the hook) and just wait for the loud water splash sound.  However, some fish act like they are going for the bait and nibble on it one or two times then swim away and you gotta recast the line for them to go after it again.  This isn't that big deal cause then even if you are looking away from screen you won't hear any more nibbling sounds.  So usually I just cast and make sure fish are going after bait then I look away and wait for the water splash sound. 

I have caught a hammerhead, regular shark, ocean sunfish, and saw shark so far (all donated to museum).  Even caught a few more sunfish and sharks that I sold.
