Help! Chip is only giving me generic prizes in fishing tourney...

[Unidentified Floor Orange]

Today was the first day I was HAPPY to catch sea bass.

Me too! I was irritated at Peck for bumping up the record from <10 inches to 40.90 inches with a sea bass, but turning in four sea bass larger than that nabbed me the remaining four pieces of furniture from fish set B. I'll wait until the next fish tourney to get items from fish set A.

My goodness! This fishing tourney is quite a bit more difficult than all of the Bug-offs I completed. D: My villagers' first place record was 42.80 inches! I caught a billion fish before I caught even one that beat that record. I obviously need to prepare before the next one. >_<'

Yeah, I'm getting generic, too. I wish there was a way to tell their sizes after you've caught them. lol Would make this so much easier to organize!

I typed the size of each fish on a sticky note on my desktop. And then made sure I put the fish in my closet/dresser in the order they were caught (I also arranged them by species). If you don't have closet/dresser space, you could arrange them in a room or in one of the museum exhibition rooms so that you know which fish is which.

You have to give Chip a large fish of whatever species you are giving him, plus have it be the largest so far. Took me awhile to figure that out. Wasted a lot of "sharks", just to get regular furniture. Luckly I have 2 towns and they are on different groups (it was the same way with the Bug-Off). Except for 1 piece, I got 2 of every piece of fish furniture. Won't have to work so hard next month.

IKR? Being told once and only once is so unfair.

At least Chip mentioned the catch and release program. But he proceeded to eat everything. I like the fish tourney better than the bugs. I just did a November one and he states which fish to catch. So hoarding won't help.

Yeah, next time if sea bass are allowed, I'm going to catch an entire pocketful of black bass over a certain size and then sea bass that are 40 inches or greater. Since the sizes can vary by .05 increments, I should be able to get all the furniture just from that. Though, it's kinda nice to get random furniture too!
