I can't catch a single fish what am I doing wrong?

Hmmm, so I'll break it down for you in steps if that's cool!
1. Look for a silhouette in the water.
2. With the crosshair lined up with it, hit the space bar or "X" which brings up the casting meter
3. In the casting meter, wait till the bars match up. When they are touching hit space or "X" and you'll cast your line out
4. With your line out, watch the bobber. Once the bobber goes under, snatch it up with space or "X"
5. With the fish snagged, reel it in with alternative presses of WASD or the arrow keys
6. Sometimes the fish will give resistance, when it does alternate presses of X and Z!
And that should do it, hope you'll be able to reel in a big one soon! Feel free to ask for any more assistance if need be.
*edit* I realize the game jam page doesn't have the controls, sorry about that. Also, many people seem to not notice that you can look more left and more right while at the lake!
