Dagnel after this challange pls do paying off all my loans with the recycle box rules 1. You are not allowed to use multiplayer on the joycons (so you can’t use 2 accounts cause if one isn’t the leader whatever they pick up goes to the recycle box) so dont use that 2. No Nintendo online 3. Have fun! 😉

woah

@Dagnel i love the strategic and self-paced nature of this challenge! i imagine you could apply a similar strategy to diving for sea creatures, right? i’d love to see that, if that’s something you’re interested in doing! :)

[@periwinklewinter]

Really like the different approach! Idk how it would translate to bugs, maybe in the smallest amount of in game days or something? Would be cool!

[@Dagnel]

Good idea, of course bugs aren't a mystery before you catch them but I like the minimum days idea.

Without having the stream clips and your reaction to these catches there's a whole different vibe to the video. Almost meditative

@@Dagnel That it is! Both formats are good for different reasons. More Stardew content soon tho?

thank you so much for continuing to do silly little challenges to make your silly little viewers happy. if no one else appreciates it (even though i know that isn't the case) know that i do ❤

[@Dagnel]

Thank you!

[@KikurixLia]

This is one of my favorite challenges you’ve done. It makes it unique because aside of the usual rng there certainly is more strategizing! Would you say it was more bait heavy than other fish related challenges you’ve done? The fishing models probably still take the cake though, right?

[@Dagnel]

Probably about as bait heavy as my other fishing challenges I would say.

I’ve recently realized how the fact sea basses are so common in ACNH might be a pun from Nintendo’s part. The Japanese name for sea bass is suzuki. Suzuki is also a surname in Japan… an extremely common one, Suzukis are everywhere. Get it? Suzukis are everywhere…

[@Alina-jj4gj]

Very happy to see this pop up since i'm trying to complete my museum and fish are way more annoying than bugs since you never know what you're gonna get

[@cosygracegames]

I discovered that dagnel’s videos are truly so good to listen to while being ef-fish-ient in the house and getting tons of cleaning done so I’ve been watching them all again- so good! This one was very enjoyable 🐠

Glad I could help!

[@vizvizi]

dagnel never fails to make me ponder the fish for 18:20

[@arkyoptrix]

I beg to differ with the Mahi Mahi. On my current island I caught like 3 of them before I came across the Giant Trevally.

[@sobrienaasc6274]

Video/Stream Ideas: - Open a pack of Amiibo cards, go villager hunting until you find all of the villagers you pulled in that pack - Fill storage speedrun (Fill a maxed out storage shed, and fill every single plot of land on the island so that nothing else may be placed down) - Find every single villager Poster/Photo (Using online services) - Find every NPC/Villager possible in the roost as fast as possible or in the least amount of days - pay off debt speedrun using items that only start with the letter "___" (for example for the letter "S" you could only use items like the Sea bass, science pod, sample case, etc, to pay off your debt) - Scavenger hunt challenge using the dream islands "Surprise Me" Feature - Collect all DIY's and craft all the items - Collect all food recipes and craft them (and eat them) - See how many Sea bass you can catch in a row - Put random pitfall seeds across your island, first villager to fall into one you do a cosplay of (possibly a sub goal) Hopes this helps, love the videos bro, keep it up!

[@PoisonSpecs]

One of the first numbers that popped into my head was 101 for the total catch requirement then catching the last one

[@jamsstats1700]

Video idea: Do a 100% speed run of the game Rules: • Get a 5 star island • Complete the Museum • Have 8 bridges and 8 inclines • Pay off all debts on your house • Have 10 villagers (they can be any villagers, no specific ones required) • Have 8 residents, all with fully paid off and upgraded houses • Complete all nook miles achievements

[@imcamille12]

do u realize how unbelievably hard and time consuming that is also dag is all about unique challenges

[@Samsungsmartfridge19]

That would take thousands of hours at least

[@symliadoo]

this is such a fun challenge :D now that i think about it, i feel like this would be an interesting challenge in stardew too! since theres so many variables And some requirements for certain fish 🤔 though it would probably take longer since with ac you can just time travel and in stardew you have to manually sleep through the days

[@sadurn23]

I don't know if you need challenge suggestions but I thought of a Magnum Opus of Animal Crossing challenge. Similar to perfection in SDV you could complete a series of challenges. -Completing the museum (minus fossils and art, because no one likes that type of grinding) -Having max friendship with all 10 villagers (Up to Getting a photograph) -5 Star Island -All fully upgraded shops and home -A challenge of your choice! Ex. Getting a full holiday set of items, Getting blue roses, Getting gold tools, etc. No idea if you'll see this or do it, but it could be a fun challenge!! Keep up the great work on video's, Dagnel!!

[@nala]

its kinda neat that you got exactly 3 times the perfect score

The first ever video i saw of animal crossing, and the whole reason why i binge watched your channel and started playing myself ❤

[@nubbyboah]

Long time viewer, but I wanna say that Dagnel is my spirit animal as I have many a time done silly self imposed challenges in the Animal Crossing series. I have already caught every fish, and am only missing the spider and fly for bugs in ACNH. Need quite a few more divable creatures though...

[@quenepacrossing4675]

Does anyone know if there is a bug version of the fish spawn calculator? I need it in my life. Amazing video!

[@lizb5298]

Always makes my day to watch a new dagnel vid! I wonder if there was a way to do a furniture based collecting challenge for animal crossing?

[@knickyk]

i second this

[@imanobody6029]

But that wouldn't be interesting as you can see what type of bug it is.

[@WormtheWord]

I'd definitely say that 1 out of every 4 fish is a good score! That's impressive

[@Dagnel]

Thanks! Could be better but definitely not bad

[@lunawolfcrossing]

I’d love to do this challenge but realistically would hit a million before getting them all 😂 you got them in such a short amount!

[@BattleAnkka]

I wonder if this could be done with the sea creatures as well? By the bubbles and speed. That would be cool!

[@JasperCasper24]

With 105 being perfect score that’s exactly 3 catches per fish! …plus 75 blank catches, but still- I wanna do the challenge but don’t want to lose my fruit on my island lmao

[@christianzombievampire]

“How can I catch all these fish in the most optimized way?” “Eh, fish ‘n see!”

[@toadfrommario]

i wish i didn't suck so much at fishing in this game, this seems like a cool challenge. i might try it out anyway!

[@Dagnel]

Go for it!

[@a2rhombus2]

I wonder how much you could truly optimize this challenge using fish blindness to your advantage. I bet you could theoretically get close to a perfect score, if you somehow were able to deduce each fish's exact blindness from casting

[@Dagnel]

It's definitely possible. You get ~20 chances to mess up before getting to 100, and then getting those 5 without repeats is doable. Somebody could do it if they tried hard enough, but it won't be me!

[@getrekt2560]

Technically you could soft reset every time you catch the wrong fish, so it wouldn't be too hard to get a perfect score. It just would not be fun at all.

[@a2rhombus2]

@@getrekt2560 Eh I'd consider that to be cheating anyway

[@CoolattasLab]

Seeing the barreleye get released hurt me 😭 I spent so long hunting that damn fish

[@DemonikPrizm]

Just started the video so idk what you're going to do, but I find it easier to fish when I close my eyes and just listen to the sound of the game.

[@ashmenser7959]

This is the first fish challenge that likely won’t be followed by a bug one. After all, you can see the bug before catching. Getting the efficient bug record would be easy.

[@Redeadhunter]

I want to drive an entire dump truck filled with sea bass to Nintendo HQ and just unload through their front door and repeat the process every time the smell is JUUUST about gone

Something fishy is going on

[@makipom]

That makes me wonder - would the same challenge be possible (or maybe even easier) in Stardew Valley? Because all (or most) of the fish there have their own unique moving patterns in the fishing minigame, so you theoretically can know which fish you're catching. Or would that make it too easy..?

[@Dagnel]

Definitely not "easy" for me anyway. Maybe someone who knows Stardew better could totally do it!
