The fishing tournament results from yesterday were posted on the bulletin board. It confirmed my win with my 18-inch monster. Wait…monster?
And I got a letter in the mail from Chip, with my silver trophy. I put it next to my other trophies:
It was my first time earning a silver trophy, since I usually ignore the fish/bug tournaments. But contrary to what you might think, the silver trophy is not for second place. To clear up any confusion about the trophies, this is the breakdown:
- gold trophy – for winning a general fishing tournament, where any fish is eligible
- silver trophy – for winning a fishing tournament where only one specific fish is eligible
- bug trophy – for winning the bug tournament
I have no idea why Nintendo chose to make the trophies gold and silver, because gold and silver are typically used to represent first and second place, respectively. And why doesn’t the bug tournament have two types of trophies? Only Nintendo knows.
Anyway, I then went around town to water flowers. Robin approached me, asking for the K.K. Slider DVD she supposedly lent me. Say what? But then she realized she lent it to Amelia instead. Yeah, like Amelia’s ever going to return it.
Once I finished up in Forest, I checked in on my Bananas town. Unfortunately, Iggly apparently became the first resident to move out of town. It’s a shame, because he was the same Iggly that lived in Forest before. Now he’s left me twice.
I found today’s money rock, dug up some fossils, and sold some fruit. In total, I have about 225,000 bells of the 400,000 I need for my fountain. So maybe in a couple weeks I’ll have enough.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading and come back again soon!
At the time, Rowan was in the lead with a 15.9 inch fish.
Fortunately, there were plenty of horse mackerel out in the ocean, and it didn’t take me long to overtake Rowan. When I did, Chip gave me a toaster as a prize.
I was in the lead, but I still caught several more fish just to be sure. I came back shortly before 6:00 (when the tournament ended) and gave Chip my remaining fish. And sure enough, I had no problem winning the tournament with my 18.8 inch horse mackerel.
I’ll get my prize in the mail at a later time, Chip said. It should be the silver trophy, which I have never received before. I got the gold fishing trophy before, but the tournaments for specific fish have a different trophy, which I only found out when marking off my item checklist.
I opened my gate at 10:00. Yann came over to visit, and I showed her where I buried Sydney.
We hung out in my house for a while. She wore a hat and stood behind my snowman to make it look like Frosty was wearing it.
Yann told me she was going into labor and she gave birth to one of Del’s babies.
In my golden basement, I wore the gold brick pattern to try to blend in.
It was snowing outside, so went fishing for a while–trying to catch a coelacanth. My first good catch was a tuna; Yann also caught one.
And shortly after that, we both caught lobsters.
We never did catch a coelacanth tonight, but we had a good time in Forest.
