I've been practically tearing through the game, but ive been stuck at the part where they force you to catch a reekfish. Im doind everything right, but the fish just nibble. Anyone know of a good strategy?

You need the prince zora to give you the coral hook. Then the reek fish will be attracted to you.

You have to wait for the lure to pull all the way down, then jerk up with the Wiimote. It's frustrating if you don't know how to do it, which the game doesn't tell you. Also make sure to switch to wolf form once you catch it and use your senses to sniff the fish.

I know what you mean.  Apart from the frustration that comes from that part, the fishing mechanics are straight up poor in this game.  I honestly don't understand why everyone was so enamored of the fishing in TP.
