Fishing Tourney 68 (Bottled) is an event featuring C.J. which utilizes the Saltwater Shores location. The event introduces rare types of fish, as well as bottled ship-themed rewards.

The tourney began on Nov. 11, 2023 and the player could collect fish to complete the challenges and goals until Nov. 19th, 2023. The trophy earned for the tourney was available in the player's mailbox from Nov. 11th to Nov. 19th, 2023.

Fish could be obtained in various ways:

By fishing with the regular fishing rod near sparkling water, for a total of 6-9 spawns per 3-hour rotation. There is a 13% chance for a single spawn to result in capturing two fish at the same time.
By renting the Golden Rod and using it to fish near sparkling water, for a total of 6-9 spawns per 3-hour rotation. Each spawn will result in capturing two fish at the same time.
By using the Tourney Throw Net to capture x6 random tourney fish.
By buying a Lg. Tourney Throw Net and using it to capture x1 Red King Crab, x4 Yellowfin Tuna, plus 5 random tourney fish.
By talking to villagers at the campsite and receiving fish in addition to the normal reward.

Fish could be turned in to C.J. at any point during the tourney, although once a player had at least 20 fish in their inventory, C.J. would automatically collect them all.

Only one trophy is received at the end of the event, for the highest level reached.

Any tourney nets left over at the end of the event will stay in the player's inventory and may be used in future fishing tourneys at either location.
