On Wednesday, Timmy told me that he was paying 109 bells for turnips. So I sold my measly 30 turnips from Joan for 3,270 bells.
After checking Lottie’s Island last night, I left the game in sleep mode overnight. When I resumed today, I tried to fly to Harv’s Island…but Wilbur told me I couldn’t do it!

Because a new day had started, I was forced to travel back to Forest before I could go out again.
C.J. was in town today, and he wanted me to catch three small-fry fish in a row for his seasports challenge. But after catching two small fish, I spotted a shark in the ocean! There were no other small fish around, so should I sacrifice my streak for the shark? Not to mention, there’s a chance that the “shark” could be a suckerfish. What would you do?
I decided to catch the shark, which turned out to be a hammerhead. It’s not that hard to find three small fish again.

Beardo pinged me, wanting a new catchphrase to replace “oh banana,” which he obviously learned from Louie. When a villager is using someone else’s custom catchphrase, that’s about the only time I actually do change it. I told Beardo to say “unbearable,” because that’s what he is. But he turned it around on me like a savage.

I gave him a few hits with my net for that one.
Once I caught three (more) small fish, I returned to C.J.; he gave me 15,000 bells for the six fish in my pockets (which included the hammerhead).
Not long after that, I spotted a very large fish shadow in my small circular pond (the Zelda fairy fountain). I fished out an arapaima!

With that, and several other fish I grabbed out of storage, I scored another 168,000 bells from C.J.
As if that didn’t already get me into a fishing mood, Louie asked me to catch a tilapia for him. So I continued fishing until I caught one…and of course, I caught a lot of other good fish in the process too. Louie ultimately gave me a loungewear shirt for the tilapia, but the real prize was all the other fish I was able to sell: Another 110,000+ bells worth; that’s nearly 300k in total for the day!
I took my earnings over to Resident Services and deposited the money into my account. My balance has now reached 40 million bells.

I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow. Hope to see you then!
