After helping out Pashmina last night, she rewarded me with a baby bear from her secret stash. Wait, what? Why do you have a stash of baby bears?!
Today, the January fishing tournament was held. Chip told me it was all about the bass (no treble).
I caught a sea bass and took it back to Chip; it measured 41.15 inches. But that was shorter than Aurora’s current record of 44.5 inches.
So I returned to the ocean, where I fished. And fished. And fished. I caught quite a few sea bass, but none were as large as Aurora’s big bass. The good news is that I also caught some tuna and football fish that I ended up selling. After putting some money into the bank, my account balance topped 59 million bells.
The fishing tournament ended, and I figured maybe I would at least get a bronze trophy for finishing in third place. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before, so I could add a new trophy to my trophy room at the museum. So I went into Chip’s tent for the winners’ ceremony…and I didn’t even get third place! I was just in the audience!
Dizzy came out of nowhere to win the tournament, while Aurora got second place and Daisy got third place. A lot of times, I’ll barely try (catching only a couple of fish) and I’ll win. This time, I spent 30-45 minutes fishing and still failed. Haha, I guess it just wasn’t my day. 😛
