Fishing Tourney

This is Chip, he is the judge for the fishing Tourney's on Animal Crossing. These are held from October to May on every third Saturday of the month. Apart from judging the Tourney he also gives the player a golden fishing rod when they have donated every type of fish to their museum. Chip gives the player furniture when they break the record of the current first place fish. But beware that Chip eats every fish that he evaluates with the exception of sharks which he takes home to eat since they are too big.

Sometimes the tournaments have a theme in which only one kind of fish can be entered in the Tourney. Depending on the rarity of the fish it depends on how easy it is to become first place. I have been beaten by villagers in the past when it is a themed tourney since I did not have the patience to catch the same fish so many times.

I think that Fishing Tourney's are a fun way to bond with villagers. I encourage all animal crossing players to join in on the fun.
