Win a Real-Life Llama Trophy in the First Official Fortnite Fishing Tournament

Fortnite will be hosting an epic in-game fishing tournament this weekend for the first time ever. The tournament will be open to everyone and will offer an exclusive Bottom Dweller pickaxe to category winners, as well as the opportunity to win a real-life Fortnite Llama trophy.

Dubbed the Fortnite Fishing Frenzy, the event will be kicking off Friday, November 22 at 5 am PT/8 am ET/1 pm GMT and will wrap things up on Sunday, November 24 at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET/1 am GMT (Nov. 25). The rules for the Fortnite fishing tournament are pretty simple — catch the most fish.

There will be four different categories in the event, which can be seen in the list below. Each category will have one winner per server region, with NAE and NAW servers being combined. If you reign victorious in one of the four categories below in your respective server region, you'll earn yourself a real-life Llama trophy.

Top Angler: Catch the most fish during a single match

Small Fry Champion: Catch the most Small Fry during the competition

Flopper Champion: Catch the most Flopper during the competition

Slurpfish Champion: Catch the most Slurpfish during the competition

Further, if you catch a Mythic Goldfish at any point during the Fortnite Fishing Frenzy tournament, you'll receive the Bottom Dweller pickaxe. Additionally, everyone who participates in the Fortnite fishing tournament will earn the Play to Win spray.

If you'd like to enter into the Fortnite fishing tournament, you won't have to do anything special. Simply fish in Solos, Duos, or Squads matches during the competition times above and you'll be eligible to win.
