As I started up the game today, I was notified that the fishing tournament was underway. I still have my green mohawk and red balloon, while the blue mail sign was up and the gold roses continue lining my paths. It was a colorful scene, so I snapped a photo.

As Willow informed me, the tournament is only for crucian carp. Willow bragged about being in the lead with a footlong fish.

In the southeast corner of town, right near the beach (where Nana lived), I found a new house. Tiffany just moved in.

She has lived in Forest before, leaving in 2020. Some of you may remember me pitfalling her or dropping a large snowball on her head. I don’t like her.

I kept an eye out in the river as I made my way around town, and I caught a few crucian carp.

My first couple of fish measured 9.9 and 11.1 inches, respectively. Not enough to take over the top spot. So I went back to the river and caught three more of Chip’s desired fish. My third fish overall measured 10.5 inches, which was still too small. But the 4th try was the charm: It measured 13.0 inches, and that put me atop the leaderboard! Chip gave me a claw-foot tub as a prize.

I went ahead and gave Chip my last fish too, and it measured 13.2 inches. So I beat my own record!

When I started up the game later tonight, I found a letter from Chip in the mail. He confirmed that I won the tournament with my 13-inch crucian carp, and he sent me a silver trophy.

I wrapped up my night with a song at the Roost. I asked K.K. Slider for a random tune, and he performed “Mr. K.K.” for me.

Today I received Biskit’s goodbye letter in the mail. I knew it would be coming, but it’s still sad to say goodbye. He was such a good dog. 🐶

Rosie told me about a contest to find the next Little Miss Baked Ziti, and she asked if I would like to do it together. I assume she meant helping her out or whatever. 😛 But then she remembered that I was a guy, and she said boys are too stinky to enter.

I helped out Antonio by delivering a gift to Sydney for him. He thanked me for the favor by giving me a sleigh. It may be a bit out of season now, but it’s still an ice gift.

Moments later, Big Top wanted that same sleigh.

I told him he could have it for free, but he paid me 368 bells for it anyway.

I took the bus out to the city and walked into Shampoodle. St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, so I paid 3,000 bells to make my annual transformation into Mohawk McClover.

Phineas was standing in the city, so I asked him for a balloon. Unlike last year, he gave me a red one this time…so it didn’t match my outfit.

Later on tonight, I returned to the game. I attended K.K. Slider’s show in the Roost, where he performed “Soulful K.K.” for me.

There was a meteor shower going on in the sky tonight, so I stopped to watch a few of them go by.

I received a letter from Big Top in the mail today, telling me that he is now over his cold. He sent me a shogi board to thank me for the medicine I gave him last week.

With Static moving back in recently, I’ve been thinking about what a great lineup I have here in Forest. Static, Big Top, Biskit, Rosie, and Antonio are among my favorites, and of course Scoot and Willow are pretty cool too. However, it’s hard to keep a great lineup together in this game, and one of my favorites is already on the way out (as I learned today). Biskit is all packed up and ready to move out. 🙁

When I visited Willow tonight, she said that it’s hard to stay in her house ever since someone wore a tacky outfit in her house!

She said she even has the urge to move out! Wow, that’s quite a reaction to someone else’s clothes!

I went over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s show, and he performed “K.K. Lament” for me. It’s a sad song, but that’s probably fitting for the day that Biskit is moving out.

After the show, I ran into Rosie. She was talking about the Happy Room Academy evaluations, and how she gets creeped out imagining them snooping around.

But then again, she’s also scared of gazpacho. 😛
