How would you do a fishing minigame in tabletop?

No, seriously. Have you ever tried to put in a mini game into your tabletop game where it's just mostly there for the players to engage and relax in whenever they feel like it? I'm not sure if there's a way to do this, and I'm wondering if this is a strange artifact of tabletop being inferior to video games, or if I'm just not clever enough to think of it.
