A bearded commando-style fisherman in black tactical scuba gear (yellow-and-black dive goggles on his forehead, ammo-belt-like orange harpoon-spear cartridges strapped across his chest and forearms, holding a harpoon spear-gun) is the hero/WILD character. The antagonist/target is a large green robotic/mechanical bass fish (metallic green body, orange fins, a trailing fishing hook and line) used as the SCATTER symbol. The reels float in a dark blue-teal underwater scene with rising light shafts, drifting bubbles, green seaweed at the screen edges, coral, a sunken pipe, and a distant motorboat silhouette crossing the moonlit water surface above the reels.",
