Winter Fishing Tourney

The fishing tournament was held today, so I headed to the plaza and talked with C.J. On my first run, I caught five fish in the three-minute session, earning me 7 points. That earned me 2,000 Nook Miles for competing, and I’ve now participated in all four fishing tourneys.

I competed in eight more runs, scoring 7, 8, 7, 9, 8, 6, 7, and 7 points respectively. After my third run, C.J. informed me that I’ve hooked a total of 100 points. He will be sending me a prize in the mail tomorrow.

C.J.: You've hooked a Fishing Tourney net total of over 100 points. You're takin' the scene by storm!

I caught two new fish on the day, a bluegill and a tuna. I promptly donated them both to the museum.

I caught a tuna! It's a little off-key!

When I was done, I redeemed the 71 points in my pool for seven reward items from C.J.: an anchor statue, a fish rug, a fish print, a fish umbrella, a marine pop wall, a fresh cooler, and a tackle bag. I placed the anchor statue at the northern beach, and put the other items into storage.

Later on, Hornsby said that today’s tournament was very close. No it was not! I was the only one who caught any fish at all! 😛

Hornsby: Today's tourney was so close. All the excitement really got my tummy rumblin', schnozzle!

When I visited Midge, she asked if I think about pizza with wings when I think of foods. Well, I do now that you mentioned it! 😉

Midge: When you think foods, are you really thinking about pizza, with wings?
You’re making me hungry!

I hope you all had a fun and successful fishing tourney!
