I still don't know why I was hooked after even five minutes...
This is one of those movies where the trivia and recommendation far outweighs the entertainment of the feature. For starters, I only just learned of this movie's existence yesterday when I was catching up on the podcast: Shockwaves, specifically episode 98. During that podcast's first half, the hosts discuss what they've seen in horror that past week. Here, they hilariously described this weird-ass 80s "comedy" horror.
In an actual complex and incoherent script, during a small town fishing contest period of time, someone is killing off people for really a dumb reason with an incredibly odd choice of weapon that wouldn't work. I guess that's the part of comedy this was meant to be.
Despite the hilarious recommendation from the Shockwaves guys and the aforementioned (hilarious and actually interesting) trivia on this, I can't extend a recommendation. Some scenes are, honestly, funny and I did laugh out loud a couple of times, but for the most part, this low-budget wannabe doesn't garner a single repeat watch from me.
Going real fishing is absolutely more exciting.

Final thoughts: THAT all said, I highly recommend the Shockwaves podcast. Normally they don't all chime in at once and make me (and themselves) laugh out loud at the craziness of a movie, but this episode 98 was certainly a fun one.
