In free spins, each fisherman collects every fish value showing.
The mechanic
The fish symbols carry money values. In the base game those values sit idle. During free spins a fisherman wild gathers all of them at once, and every fourth fisherman adds ten spins and raises a multiplier on the fish, to 2x, 3x and finally 10x. More on cash collect.
The maths
Big Bass Bonanza returns 96.71% of stakes over the very long run by default, which is a house edge of 3.29%. Its high volatility describes how unevenly that return arrives.

A typical session is uneventful for long stretches: small line wins, the odd pair of scatters, a slowly falling balance. When three scatters land, the mood changes. A round with one fisherman and small fish might return ten or twenty times the stake; a round that reaches the 10x stage of the ladder can return hundreds.
