What You Can Do With CJ

Catch 3 Fish Of The Same Size In A Row

CJ will ask you to catch 3 fish of the same size in a row. The best way to do this successfully is to check the shadow of the fish in the water to determine their size.

Check Fish Shadow Size In Water

To make sure you're able to catch the same size of fish in a straight row, check the size of the fish's shadow. This helps you estimate the size of the fish you'll catch.

No Distinct Rewards Confirmed Yet

When you complete CJ's fishing challenge, he'll offer to buy what you caught. No distinct or special rewards have been confirmed yet in the game.

Sell Fish For Bells

CJ will also offer to buy any of the fish that you've caught This is a great way to offload your inventory after the fishing tournament and make lots of money. It might even be worth it to stockpile some fish to have ready to sell to him when he arrives.

100 points and you get a gold fish trophy

I was able to get 8 fish in 3 minutes, and so got 10 points. If you can get 8 each time, you'll have enough after each for swag. So far I've gotten an anchor statue, some fish wallpaper, a fishing shirt, a cooler like the one CJ has, and a tackle bag you can wear.

...Something I've been doing is getting 10 fish bait ready, starting the contest, then I just have to run down to the ocean and throw in bait, catch that fish, throw in bait, catch the next etc...
