 * Fish_326002.png Horsehair Crab
 * Fish_326003.png Lobster

You'll recognize a tourney fish by its sparkling shadow in the water. When you see one, try to catch it!



Notes:
 * During the Fishing Tourney, tourney fish will respawn every three hours. Once they've respawned, you will have the chance to catch them up to seven times.
 * When you've caught all of the tourney fish, no more will appear until the next respawn time.

=STEP 2= Give your fish to Chip!

After you catch some tourney fish, bring them to Chip and he'll measure them for you.



If you reach a total-size goal, Chip will give you a reward!

=Helpful Tools= Catch two fish at once with the golden rod!



Sometimes it's possible to catch two tourney fish at once with a normal fishing rod, but if you use {{ItemText|Leaf Ticket}}s to rent the golden rod from Chip, you'll catch two tourney fish each time, so long as tourney fish are available to be caught!

Notes:
 * You can rent the golden rod by speaking to Chip.
 * The rental period for the golden rod is from Dec. 19, 2018 at 6:00 a.m. (UTC) to Dec. 26, 2018 at 5:59 a.m. (UTC)
 * A golden rod rented during this Fishing Tourney will work from Dec. 19, 2018 at 6:00 a.m. (UTC) to Dec 26, 2018 at 5:59 a.m. (UTC)
 * The golden rod will not affect tourney fish respawn timing.
 * If the golden rod is rented after the tourney fish have all been caught, you will be unable to catch more tourney fish until they respawn.
 * When the Fishing Tourney ends, the golden rod will be returned and you will automatically switch back to a normal fishing rod. If you wish to use another golden rod for the next Fishing Tourney, you will have to rent it again.

Land the big one with a tourney throw net!



You can catch many tourney fish at once by using a tourney throw net!

■ Tourney Throw Net (Sea) ■ Lg. Tourney Throw Net (Sea)

Notes:
 * As of Fishing Tourney #9, all tourney throw nets and lg. tourney throw nets you have in your inventory will stay in your inventory at the end of the fishing tourney, and will be made available again once the next fishing tourney has begun.
 * You'll need to use Leaf Tickets to use a lg. tourney throw net.
 * All tourney throw nets and lg. tourney throw nets may only be used during the fishing tourney.
 * The fish you can catch with tourney throw nets and lg. tourney throw nets will change depending on the fishing tourney.

=Rank Up Your Trophy!=

When you reach certain total-size goals, the rank of your trophy will increase. If you increase your trophy's rank to gold fish trophy, you'll have a special conversation with Chip.

Rank up your trophy to see it!
