Chip’s Fish Market?

Yesterday, I ran into Phineas in the city. He gave me a yellow balloon, and then I chatted with a yellow rabbit…my old buddy Gaston.

Gaston, in the city: I came by to check out the auction house. It's nice to keep an eye out for bargains there.
No one bids like Gaston.

Today, Chip was hosting the April fishing tournament. You could catch any type of fish you wanted, but it needs to be big.

Antonio: Today's the fishing tourney! Any kind of dish is OK, as long as you catch a humongous one!

Felicity wondered if Chip runs a fish market, since that would explain his need for all of these fish.

Felicity: I wonder if he runs a fish market... Ohmigosh, that would make PERFECT SENSE!
Let me guess, it’s called Fish ‘n’ Chip’s.

That might sound like a good story, until you realize that Chip immediately eats all the fish you give him. So there’s nothing left that would make it to market.

I caught a zebra turkeyfish and gave it to Chip, but it was only 9.6 inches long. The current record was a 41.1-inch sea bass that Felicity caught, so I went back to fish more. A couple minutes later, I caught a sea bass. It measured 46.1 inches, so I took over the top spot. Chip gave me a caladium as my prize.

Chip: And of course, the prize... A caladium! Yes! All for you!

I returned later tonight to find a letter from Chip in the mail. He confirmed that I won the tournament, and he sent me a gold trophy.

I then made my way over to the Roost. I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Waltz” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Waltz.

Between Able Sisters and Big Top’s house, I fell into a pitfall that was hidden by a tree! Big Top must’ve planted it there for me! Well if so, he got me. 😛

Here are a few other quick notes about yesterday and today:

  • Yesterday, I found a Spaceman Sam & a mega howloid in the recycle bin.
  • Ed asked me to catch a common butterfly for him, so I did. He rewarded me with 528 bells.
  • Tonight, I delivered a manor wall from Big Top to Monty. Big Top also gave me 528 bells.

See you next week!
