2. Caught A Big Fish, But It's The WRONG Big Fish

There's nothing quite like stepping out of your home, sunshine beaming down, and heading over to the water for a round or two of endless fishing. Unlike bug-catching, this is one hunting game that functions more like a game of chance, and it's incredibly addictive. However, something you'll grow accustomed to is that any big fish outline may tease an impressive payday (or exciting new discovery), but the second it leaves the water, all you actually unearthed was a big ol' disappointment.

Oh, it's a bass? Man, there's another dab swimming around this area? Whatever the case, it may be a big fish, but it's not the big fish you were looking for. See, you wanted something a little more, uh, rare, and what you got was, uh, not. If you're an avid fisher (which, let's be honest, everyone is in Animal Crossing), you'll experience this often.

It wouldn't be so bad if they were at least worth a couple of extra bells at Tommy Nook's shop. Alas, they're not, but you can always use the money, so you'll go back-and-forth, racking up these gill-having disappointments and selling them for hours on end. Animal Crossing may be a game where the grind is the point, but this is an aspect that really FEELS like grinding.
