The fishing tournament was today, and it was the one where you have to catch a specific type of fish. This time, Chip would only accept horse mackerel.
At the time, Rowan was in the lead with a 15.9 inch fish.
Fortunately, there were plenty of horse mackerel out in the ocean, and it didn’t take me long to overtake Rowan. When I did, Chip gave me a toaster as a prize.
I was in the lead, but I still caught several more fish just to be sure. I came back shortly before 6:00 (when the tournament ended) and gave Chip my remaining fish. And sure enough, I had no problem winning the tournament with my 18.8 inch horse mackerel.
I’ll get my prize in the mail at a later time, Chip said. It should be the silver trophy, which I have never received before. I got the gold fishing trophy before, but the tournaments for specific fish have a different trophy, which I only found out when marking off my item checklist.
I opened my gate at 10:00. Yann came over to visit, and I showed her where I buried Sydney.
We hung out in my house for a while. She wore a hat and stood behind my snowman to make it look like Frosty was wearing it.
Yann told me she was going into labor and she gave birth to one of Del’s babies.
In my golden basement, I wore the gold brick pattern to try to blend in.
It was snowing outside, so went fishing for a while–trying to catch a coelacanth. My first good catch was a tuna; Yann also caught one.
And shortly after that, we both caught lobsters.
We never did catch a coelacanth tonight, but we had a good time in Forest.
I then found Tortimer there at the bridge to mark the occasion. It’s not very often the old turtle gets out of his chair at town hall.
