All achievements that ask for a non-estimated weight must have an ACTUAL weight at or above the requirement. If the weight is estimated at the required amount, but it doesn't proc, the actual weight is within 50 below the minimum.

How do you catch a fish? No info online...
CookiemonsterIke 23 May 2018 18:02
To start, hold down the B button and down to set the line so it won't reel out quickly, then use the control pad to tire the fish out while holding A to reel him in. Almost forgot, you probably want to press select when each level starts so you can
CookiemonsterIke 23 May 2018 18:04
Set the line length to 100. Also, when you hear clicking fast, that means the line is about to snap, so you need to stop holding down (which stops your line from reeling out and wears down you AND the fish.)
CookiemonsterIke 23 May 2018 18:29
Forgot some more stuff. When you hold up, this is known as "thumbing the line" which tires the fish, but can also make your gloves start smoking. When something bad like that happens, you just have to take you chances and guess which one is the right
CookiemonsterIke 23 May 2018 18:31
Choice. Your skill level will increase the odds of your choice working, but the correct choice shuffles even when it's loaded. (I know this from using an emulator for the game.)
CookiemonsterIke 23 May 2018 18:34
One more thing: pressing down will pull the hook out of the fishes mouth, which you can see on the fish's display at the bottom right. Oh, and when you see sweat on the display, it also means the fish is tiring.
CookiemonsterIke 23 May 2018 18:43
Sorry, I have to brag about this: approximately 6:52 into the first day and I caught a 900 pound Blue Marlin. A reason I believe I can get the world record on this game.

How do I do the soft reset and BGM tester on a PS4 controller in Retroarch? What core should be used?
