🏆 Isabella's Weekly Fishing Competition
Every weekend, Cat Town comes alive with Isabella's famous fishing competition! From Saturday 00:00 UTC until Monday 00:00 UTC, every fish you catch is automatically entered into the competition for a chance at the prize pool. No extra entry fee, no special requirements—just fish like you normally would and compete for the top spot!
How It Works

Leaderboard Rankings
The angler who catches the biggest fish wins! All fish are measured by weight, and the heaviest catch takes the crown. But even if you don't catch the biggest fish, there are prizes for everyone in the top 10!
Pro Tip: Different weather conditions and seasons affect fish sizes. Check the conditions before you head out to maximize your chances of catching a whopper!
Prize Pool Distribution
Every time you identify a fish (any day of the week, not just weekends), a portion of that KIBBLE goes into the weekend competition prize pool. Here's the complete breakdown of where your identification KIBBLE goes:
From Each Fish Identification:
- 10% → Fishing leaderboard prize pool (split among top 10)
- 10% → Revenue share for KIBBLE stakers
- 70% → Pays for treasures you catch
- 7.5% → Community Pot (paid back out to players through Paulie's Fish Raffle)
- 2.5% → Burned forever
💡 Did you know? Every fish identification throughout the week helps grow the weekend prize pool! The more active the fishing community, the bigger the prizes for everyone.

Strategy Tips
Weather Matters
Different weather conditions can affect the size of fish you catch:
- Wet weather brings out larger, more aggressive fish
- Windy weather brings out more treasures than normal
- Sunny weather is great for consistency
- Check the forecast before heading out for the best chances
Build Your Hot Streaks
Landing perfect catches (hitting the green zone) builds your hot streak, which:
- Slows down the catch bar, making it easier to hit perfect catches
- Increases your chance of double-dips (catching two fish at once)
- Can lead to triple-dips with the right rod upgrades

Upgrade Your Gear
Better rods mean better performance:
- Faster bite times
- Longer grace periods on the catch bar
- Enhanced hot streak bonuses
- Increased double-dip chances

Special Editions
Some weekends the competition gets a seasonal or partner twist, with themed fish, treasures and exclusive cosmetic rewards. Keep an eye out for shorter Fishing Blitz events too, like the All Your Base Fishing Blitz. See Events for past and upcoming editions.
Additional Prizes
Don't forget about Paulie's Fish Raffle! The raffle isn't part of the competition, but your weekend catches can still pay off: from Monday to Friday you can trade the weight of your fish for raffle tickets (20kg per ticket), and everyone gets one free ticket each week. Even if you don't make the top 10, you could still win big!
