The way theAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfishing tourney works is that players will get a certain number of points depending on how many fish they catch. One fish is one point, two fish is two points, and then once players catch three fish, they got two more points than the number of fish they have. So threeAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfishis worth five points, four fish are worth six points, and so on, with 10 fish worth 12 points. Most of theAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfishing tourney rewards that players can get cost 10 points apiece, so that will be at least 140 points necessary to get everything.

Additionally, players will also unlock fishing tourney trophies inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsby participating in the day’s events.
