Fishing Tourney #9 is an event featuring Chip which utilizes the Saltwater Shores location. The event introduces rare types of fish, as well as snow-themed rewards.

The tourney began on December 19th and the player could collect fish to complete the challenges and goals until December 26th 5:59am (UTC). The trophy earned for the tourney was available in the player's mailbox from December 26th to December 27th 5:59am (UTC).

Fish could be obtained various ways:

• By fishing with the regular fishing rod near sparkling water, for a total of 7 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 7 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 x1 Lobster plus 5 random tourney fish.
• By buying a Lg. Tourney Throw Net and using it to capture x5 Lobster, x1 Horsehair Crab, x1 Sweet Shrimp, plus 3 random tourney fish.
• By fulfilling requests for villagers at the campsite and receiving fish as a reward.

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

The player only received one trophy at the end of the event, for the highest level earned.
