The Fishing Tourney is a fish-catching event that occurs throughout the year in the Animal Crossing series. While the principle of the fishing tourney remains the same across the series, each incarnation has different variations.

Animal Crossing

Summer Fishing Tourney

In Animal Crossing during June, Chip the beaver will host a fishing tournament every Sunday where players can win furniture for record-breaking fish. However, he only accepts types of bass that are caught in the river (small bass, bass, and large bass). Chip will give players a prize for every bass they give him that beats the previous record for the day. Bass caught before the tourney can be given to Chip for prizes. If players have the record at the end of the day, they will receive an additional gift in the mail. Players can talk to Tortimer at any time during the tourney by the Wishing Well to receive the Angler Trophy.

Fall Fishing Tourney

The Fishing Tourney reappears in November. It is identical to the Summer Fishing Tourney.

Wild World

Although the tournament starts at 12 P.M., players can use any previously caught fish in it. Players can take the fish to Tortimer who is outside of the Town Hall. If it is the biggest fish caught that day, players get the prize of a random furniture item. A villager may later submit a larger fish, however, so players have to keep trying. If at 6 P.M., players still have the largest fish caught, they win the Fish Trophy, which is mailed to them. If players do not have a fishing rod, they can talk to Tortimer for a free one.

City Folk

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, there are two types of tourney, running from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M., with different fish available in each. Chip returns to the front of the Town Hall with his tent full of coolers, and is standing eagerly for contestants to bring in fish to be measured, after which he eats the player's submission. Winning the tourneys will get players a Gold or Silver Trophy, dependent on which tourney they entered, that arrives by post the next morning. Additionally, players receive a piece of common furniture from Chip every time they beat a previous record.

During the tournaments held on the second Saturday of the month, any fish is accepted. The prize is the Gold Trophy.

During the tournaments held on the third Saturday of the month, only specific fish will be accepted in the competition. For each of those tourneys, the specific fish is chosen at random from a potential three each month. The prize is the Silver Trophy.

New Leaf

In New Leaf, the Fishing Tourney is slightly different compared to the last games. The heights of the fish are automatically recorded as part of the new updates in the game. But as it was in Animal Crossing: City Folk, there are certain months where Chip will accept any fish, while some months he will ask the player to catch a specific type of fish.

Tournaments Held

Month Tournament Type
3rd Saturday of January One Type of Fish
(Horse Mackerel, Pond Smelt, or Sea Bass)
2nd Saturday of February Any Type of Fish
3rd Saturday of March One Type of Fish
(Crucian Carp, Horse Mackerel, or Loach)
2nd Saturday of April Any Type of Fish
3rd Saturday of May One Type of Fish
(Carp, Black Bass, or Sea Bass)
2nd Saturday of October Any Type of Fish
3rd Saturday of November One Type of Fish
(Carp, Crucian Carp, or Black Bass)
2nd Saturday of December Any Type of Fish

Fish can be submitted to Chip from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. Upon submitting the fish to Chip, he will give the player a piece of furniture, wallpaper or flooring. He will give out ordinary furniture, wallpaper or flooring if the player submits a record breaking fish at or below the average size of the fish. However, if the size is above average, he will give the player a furniture, wallpaper or flooring from the Fish set at random. The items given from the Fish set are split into two groups; one group in which can only be obtained during months where Chip will accept any fish, while the other group is for when Chip will only accept a certain kind of fish by what he tells the players to catch.

There will be a plinth inside Chip's tent. When the winners are announced inside the tent, the winners will stand on the first, second and third stands on the plinth. During the winners are announcements, they will let off party poppers and Chip will give each person an award (i.e. a trophy) according to their position. The awards ceremony must take place before 9 P.M. or else it will be canceled, and trophies will be mailed.

amiibo Festival

During the Fishing Tourney, Chip will visit and all spaces will turn into Fishing Rod Spaces. After every turn is over, an awards ceremony will occur. Happy Points will be given out depending on the place that the player ranked.

New Horizons

In New Horizons, the Fishing Tourney is hosted by C.J. instead of Chip. Players are tasked with catching as many fish as possible within three minutes. The player can participate as many times as they choose until the event ends at 6:00 PM; however, every entry after the first costs 500 bells. While the timer is active, a generic message is displayed whenever a fish is caught as opposed to the player's normal joke/pun, and the "Yes!" message that normally displays for a first-time catch will not be displayed either. Fishing Rods will not break during the tourney, but they still sustain damage, and will break after the timer is up if their durability runs out during a round.

Fish the player catches are sent to a cooler in the plaza rather than their pockets. After scoring, the player can sell the cooler's contents to C.J. for 1.5 times the sell price at Nook's Cranny, and they are required to do so before they may participate again or swap their points for items. To keep any caught fish, the player must select fish from the cooler before bulk-selling.

During the event, villagers are seen fishing along rivers on the island, and will wear either a red or blue athletic jacket with a matching hat.

Scoring

Players receive points based on the number of fish caught, regardless of their rarity.

  • 1 point per fish
  • 2 bonus points if three or more fish were caught

Multiplayer

There are additional benefits for participating in the Fishing Tourney on local or Internet multiplayer. In a multiplayer tournament, the 500 bell entry fee is waived for all participants. In addition, there is a cooperative bonus: if 5 or more fish are caught between the players, all players will earn 10 bonus points each (regardless of the number of fish caught individually).

To begin a tournament, only one player needs to ask C.J. to start the timer. The timer will begin for everyone without prior warning, meaning that other players can move nearer to a body of water ahead of time. A tournament can also only be started after everyone has cleared their coolers (whether by selling to C.J. or manually removing fish from it).

Players can join or leave the island during the tournament, but the timer will not pause. If connection is lost and/or the island state is reset, it is possible for everyone to lose fishing progress.

Rewards

After obtaining 10 or more points, players can exchange their points for "fish swag." The 13 possible items are distributed in a random order, after which the player will start receiving duplicate items. In addition, if the player obtains 100, 200, or 300 points over the course of the day, C.J. will mail them a corresponding trophy (bronze, silver, or gold). This total is cumulative; points that have been traded in for swag still contribute to the total.

Although the tourney ends at 6:00 PM, C.J. will remain in the plaza until 8:00 PM, so points can still be exchanged for rewards and fish can be sold until he leaves. After he has left, the cooler remains in the plaza for the rest of the night, in case the player still needs to retrieve their fish from there.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

In this game, the Fishing Tourney occurs in Saltwater Shores‎ or Lost Lure Creek (depends on event} and is also different from other games. Players can catch only specific species of fish with the sparkling shadow for the tourney, and they should give them to Chip so he can measure the size of each fish. Balloons might appear along with Chip's face on some. Players can rent a golden fishing rod for 80 Leaf Tickets, giving them guarantee chances of catching two fish at once. Also, the player can use a tourney throw net to catch several fish at once.

Fishing Tourney: Candied Catches and Fishing Tourney: Pumpkins were hosted by Jack. Fishing Tourney: Island Excursion was hosted by Tom Nook. Fishing Tourney: Fun Bunny Day Land was hosted by Zipper T. Bunny.
