The first Big Catch Even Bigger Bass was a tight five-reel collector. The sequel widens everything. Blueprint Gaming pushed the grid to 6 reels and 4 rows, which swaps the old paylines for 4,096 ways to win and gives the fish symbols a lot more water to swim through. Released 24 April 2025 by Reel Time Gaming, it's a sequel that actually earns the number on the title.
RTP sits at 95.00%. Volatility is medium. The maximum win caps at 2,500x your bet, which is honestly the one place the sequel feels smaller than it should. For a Blueprint title in 2025, that ceiling is modest, and chasing it through a four-tier Cash Pots panel (Mega, Major, Minor, Mini) means most sessions cash out long before you sniff the top.
What's actually bigger here? The trail. Every Cash Collect win unlocks the next of five upgrades, and once an upgrade is unlocked it stays active in both the base game and the Cash Spins round. That carry-over is the spine of the whole “Even Bigger” series. Collect scatters start on reels 1 and 6 only, but as you progress, more reels open up. Cash Prize scatters land on every reel, every spin, so the collect potential is constant.
And then there's the Big Catch net. Any fish or Golden Rod that doesn't get collected can transfer up to the net above the reels. Fill it and you pick a fish to reveal a cash prize or the bonus round. It's a random trigger, but it gives dead spins a second shot.
Cash Spins kick in with 3+ bonus scatters: 10 spins for three, scaling up to 500x plus 10 spins for six scatters. You pick a fish at the start to lock in which upgrades carry into the round. Wilds skip reel 1, sub for everything except the bonus and collect symbols, and stack up nicely on the right side.
If you played the original and felt the grid was too cramped, this one breathes. Bigger reels, deeper trail, same lake. Just don't expect a runaway max win.
