I'm finding it nigh on impossible to catch certain fish (I suspect they're sharks, Napoleon fish, Blue Marlin , Arrowana and Arapaima) - they nibble as normal, but when I go to reel them in, they just swim off.  It's not like I'm reacting particularly slowly, either. I'm even using a silver rod.  I never experienced this in the GC version - is there something I'm doing wrong?

i find the arrowana easy to catch, if its a shark you will see its dorsal fin in the water. sometimes the fish just nibble once and leave real quick. it happens to me alot too.

Sometimes they bite and flee on the first go, but often it's on later ones. Do I need to be quicker pressing the button? If that's the case, you must have to be lightning quick because it's not like I'm particularly hanging around.
