Another Big Bass boat has left the dock, and Reel Kingdom has somehow found room for one more fisherman. Big Bass Trophy Catch keeps the series on familiar water with a 5x3 grid, 10 paylines, Money Symbols and a Fisherman Wild that collects their values during bonus spins.
The main addition is a three colour Scatter Collection. Two Scatters can feed one of the fishermen beside the reels and potentially start the feature, while later collections may activate modifiers. The fish haven’t changed much, but the tackle box is slightly better organised.
Big Bass Trophy Catch returns to the cheerful fishing setting that has become almost inseparable from this series. The reels sit beneath the water, surrounded by bright blue tones, bubbles and the usual collection of fishing equipment. Three colour coded fishermen wait beside the grid, tracking Scatters and providing a clear visual link to the feature system.
The symbols use the same cartoon approach, with fish, rods, bait, tackle boxes and a dragonfly filling the reel set. During bonus spins, the bearded Fisherman Wild becomes the main character, appearing with his catch ready for collection. Fishing themes remain common across online casinos, and this one doesn’t attempt a dramatic visual reinvention. Everything is clean, readable and relentlessly upbeat, as if blank spins simply require a better choice of bait.
The regular paytable combines playing card ranks with fishing equipment and wildlife. The fishing float carries the strongest standard value, while two matching floats can also produce a potential payout of 1.00.
Three colour coded fishermen appear beside the reels during the base game. Whenever exactly 2 Scatters land without a third, they’re collected by one of these fishermen.
Each collection has a random chance of activating the bonus feature. Depending on which fisherman receives the Scatters, the round begins with 10, 15 or 20 bonus spins. The collection displays are graphical trackers rather than guaranteed progress meters, so filling them doesn’t create a fixed trigger point.
Landing 3 Scatters awards 10 bonus spins, while 4 Scatters provide 15 and 5 Scatters provide 20. The feature may also start randomly through the Scatter Collection.
Fisherman Wilds and Money Symbols become the main focus during the round. Whenever they appear together, each Fisherman collects all Money Symbol values currently visible. Several Fishermen can land on one spin, allowing the same Money Symbols to be collected more than once.
Every Fisherman Wild that lands is added to the progression trail. Collecting the fourth Fisherman awards 10 additional bonus spins and applies a 2x multiplier to later Money Symbol collections.
The eighth Fisherman grants another 10 spins and raises the collection multiplier to 3x. Reaching 12 Fishermen awards the final 10 spins and increases the multiplier to 10x. After the third retrigger, no further retriggers are possible.
The newly awarded spins begin after the current batch finishes, and the upgraded multiplier applies to those later spins.
Scatters landing during bonus spins are collected by the red, blue or green fisherman beside the grid. A successful collection can award between 1 and 5 extra bonus spins and activate one modifier for the rest of the current round.
The 2x All Wins modifier doubles regular line payouts and Fisherman Money collections. More Fish increases the number of Money Symbols present in the reel strips, while More Men increases the number of Fisherman Wilds available. More than one modifier can potentially become active as the feature continues.
Several random events can change the symbols after a bonus spin. When at least one Fisherman Wild is present, Money Symbols may be added to random positions.
When Fishermen appear without any Money Symbols, a bazooka animation can place a random number of Money Symbols onto the reels. A hook animation may also bring both Fishermen and Money Symbols into view after the original spin has ended, creating another potential collection.
Big Bass Trophy Catch uses 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. Regular combinations form from left to right across adjacent reels, beginning with the first reel. At least 3 matching symbols are generally needed, although the Fishing Float and Fisherman Wild can produce payouts from 2 matching symbols.
The Fisherman Wild doesn’t appear during ordinary base spins. Base game activity instead centres on regular line combinations and the Scatter Collection beside the grid. Three or more Scatters start the bonus directly, while two may be collected and create a random feature trigger. During bonus spins, Money Symbols only produce potential collections when one or more Fisherman Wilds land at the same time.
These related releases approach fishing collections or progressive bonus mechanics from slightly different angles.
The Big Bass series has reached the stage where spotting the differences can feel like comparing two nearly identical fishing hats. Big Bass Trophy Catch keeps the dependable Fisherman collection, retrigger trail and Money Symbols, then adds Scatter collections that can activate the feature or introduce modifiers.
That addition gives the bonus round more possible movement, particularly when More Fish and More Men work alongside the progressive multipliers. The base game remains quiet, though, and the new collection system doesn’t transform the familiar structure as much as we’d have liked. We’d place this release with readers who already enjoy the Big Bass formula and prefer small mechanical adjustments over a complete rebuild. Anyone hoping for a radical new fishing method may find that Reel Kingdom has brought the same rod in a different case.
