There’s no shortage of bait in the Fishin’ Frenzy pond, and Blueprint Gaming is back with another variant that blends two of its fan favourites. Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch Megaways hooks together the Megaways mechanic from one title and the collection feature from another. If you’ve followed the series, this mash-up might feel like déjà vu with a fishing rod — but with just enough of a twist to make you take a second cast.
The underwater setup remains comfortably familiar: a rocky seabed frames a 6-reel Megaways grid, with each reel displaying between 2 and 5 symbols on every spin. This results in a fluctuating number of win ways, anywhere from 64 up to 15,625. The game takes a fairly straightforward approach — there’s no cascading mechanic, and wins require matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left. The minimum bet sits at 0.10.
Blueprint Gaming has kept busy reinventing its classics. Alongside this one, players might recognise Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch, Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways, and the ever-growing collection of branded titles like Rick and Morty Megaways. But despite the crowded back catalogue, this one tries to offer a little more depth — literally.
Here’s how you can get started and play Fishin Frenzy Big Catch Megaways for yourself:

The game’s symbols stay true to the franchise’s theme, with a mix of low-paying royals and a batch of aquatic essentials. On top of the standard wins, special fish and bonus icons round out the collection. A complete paytable is given below.

Fishing Rod | 3x, 10x, 15x, 100x |
Pelican | 0.5x, 5x, 15x, 30x, 200x |
Fish Symbol | 1x, 3x, 5x, 10x (base) |
Fish symbols serve dual roles: they can form standard winning combinations and also display bet multiplier values. These become relevant in the bonus round.
The boat is the scatter symbol. Land 3 to 6 of these to unlock free spins. The fisherman acts as the wild, standing in for regular symbols and collecting fish values during the feature.
Triggered by 3, 4, 5, or 6 boat scatter symbols, this feature starts with 10, 15, 25, or 50 free spins. During these rounds, the fisherman wild makes his entrance. If fish symbols land at the same time as a fisherman, their cash values are collected.
Fish prizes range from 2x to 50x the bet, and the more fish you net alongside a fisherman, the bigger the haul. This keeps things ticking, but it’s the Big Catch meter that nudges the game toward something meatier.
Each time a fisherman lands, he’s added to the Big Catch meter. Every 4 fishermen collected awards for extra free spins and this removes the lowest-value fish symbol from the reels. It’s a simple mechanic, but it gives the bonus round a nice escalation — fewer small fry, more room for the potentially bigger prizes.
As you progress, the meter helps keep track of eliminations. By the fourth upgrade, the smaller fish are all gone, leaving only the high-value fish behind.
Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch Megaways blends mechanics from both of its predecessors. If you want more of the same, check out Fishin' Frenzy Megaways or the original Fishin' Frenzy. Both come with the same seaside charm in slightly different setups. Both are also available at BetVictor.
