Help !

Yes, close your eyes once they're going after your bobber, and have the sound up. The nibble sound is different than the biting sound. You'll be reacting to the sound instead of the visuals and it should be easier.
 
I'd say you have to be faster with pressing a button when they bite to be able to catch it.

yeah , idk . i'll try though , thanks c:
 
it's not more difficult, it's just you being afraid. especially since you haven't been able to multiple times.

most people say that closing your eyes helps, i just try to look at something else. turning the sound up is a huge help so definitely do that. i psych myself out multiple times and almost push the button often, so just relax.
 
They tend to have a shorter...uh...how do you say...catch time for you to reel them in, compared to the small fish.
 
I tried closing my eyes to catch them in the past, but that just makes me anticipate more. Instead I count the nibbles, and if you get 4 nibbles you're guaranteed a bite on the 5th. :)
 
The rarer fish bite down for a much shorter time than the more common fish, so you have to be quick! Size generally correlates with rarity in this game (big = rare), but there are a few exceptions. For example, you probably don't have much trouble reeling in Seabass..

Anyway..
Close your eyes and turn the sound up, it's easier.

I tend to do this, too. I find that closing my eyes and turning up the sound allows me to focus much better on the sound of the fish actually biting down. And like TehyaFaye said; if they've nibbled 4 times you can be sure they'll bite the 5th time. :)

So nice to know I'm not the only one who does this! I actually think that I anticipate it more when I see the fish moving for the bobber and closing my eyes and focusing on the sound keeps me from anticipating so much.
 
I'm also someone who closes their eyes while fishing to focus on the sound; since then, my accuracy has increased by quite a bit.

Bigger fish and rarer fish(which are often bigger) and finned fish ARE more difficult to catch, because you need faster reflexes. For these fish, the amount of time you have to react to the bite and reel the fish in is shorter than for more common fish. Your nerves may be playing a part, particularly if you're anticipating the bite(and I do find that closing your eyes and focusing only on the nibbling helps to relax yourself quite a bit), but you are NOT imagining it. The more big/rare/finned fish you catch, the more comfortable you will become.
 
What everyone else has said: close your eyes, turn the sound up, and count the nibbles (the max amount of nibbles is 4, so after that it'll definitely bite).

What will help also depends on whether your reactions aren't fast enough, or if you're too jumpy and accidentally press A before the fish bites (this is what happens to me the most). If the latter, try to take deep breaths, and keep your finger on the B button instead of A. This way it'll take slightly longer for you to get to the A button, which gives you more time to stop yourself from pressing it when it's just a nibble. If your problem is that your reaction is too slow, I can't really help you, since for me it's only the jumpiness that gets in my way.
