The small fish icon will move around, and you'll need to press the same button as before to keep that little green bar even with the fish. Press the use tool button (left mouse on PC, Y on Switch, et cetera) to hook the fish when you feel the vibration, hear the noise, and/or see the exclamation mark.After your bobber is in the water, there will be a short time (usually a few seconds), and you may feel a fish bite.
