Fun Fact: Brian single-handedly fished the coelacanth to extinction during this challenge. He is the reason they implemented the once-per-session encounter limit in Doubutsu no Mori e+.

it's so cool learning about niche things like the period in which sea bass don't ever spawn, it seems like I'll never stop learning new things about this game

Red Snapper will forever be my favorite fish in the game because I remember them being how I was able to pay off my loans before anyone else in my family.

"I didn't know they really existed!" he said upon seeing the same fish that he'd already caught over 200 of.

THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY SANITY! I first hand experienced that period of time where there was no sea bass in the ocean just by chance, but then could find NOTHING about it online. I felt like I was going crazy because no one believed me.

You telling that story about your dad made me remember one about mine. I would wake up for school and come down and he would be playing. He would show me his house filled with red snappers and barred knifejaws. I'm can't remember if it was during that time frame or not but it was always fun to come down and have him show me everything he caught.

Lol that's so funny you brought up that story about your dad fishing. My cousin and I used to both play City Folk a lot and in both our towns our dads had save files that were almost exclusively used to fish on. You can get a dad to play any game as long as it has fishing mechanics.

>catches 15 coelacanths in a row >"I didn't know they really existed!" opaygo might have some memory issues…

I love seeing the AC GC gameplay on here! As a child, I never thought to try all of these tips and tricks!!!

It's crazy to go back to the original Animal Crossing where the only thing that prevents ocean fishing from being a gold mine is the sea bass and the seasonal jellyfish. In the newer games, you also have to deal with those annoying horse mackerel.

Apparently I did fish on these days. It explains why I always had that feeling about why I was never able to attain those kinds of profits again. Now I know why. I just assumed that I had gotten lucky.

A BALLOON! I love that there’s still always something new/interesting to learn about this game

That montage at the end had me grooving. I'm currently leveling up a character in a game which is just tedious and a bit boring so this video was just perfect to watch.

Really cool! I didn't know that sea bass are not seen in a small window. Thought they were all year also didn't know full inventory prevents trash catches If you haven't filled your inventory, what's the odds your catch is a tire? Also the piggy bank fact is new for me too haha. Does the money just go into the void? You can't access the funds at any point? Doesn't seem like it I love these challenges because I seem to learn so much with each new vid :D

Whoah! I never knew sea bass didn’t spawn ever! Great video as always :)

It's great to see someone using buttons in the inventory! B to send to the original (or an available) slot, L to quick-grab... It's really nice, like after years of watching people never run in Super Mario, you see someone else who notices that the B button exists.

my god what an editing job

the cuica squeaking in rapid fire is something I didnt know I needed, loved watching really interesting to know to just hunt the celocanths

What an amazing idea for a video! Still love the original AC. It's probably my favorite one and I've got a soft spot for it

I knew there had to be some kind of event that made no sea bass spawn! I remember starting a town as a kid and couldn't find even one single sea bass for the museum, it felt like I'd unlocked some secret or exploit lmao.

I played this so much during my childhood, it was so nice to come across your channel I love your insane dedication to this game 💗

Bringing back memories of innocently power-fishing on a rainy day. I used to catch all the big fish cause they are worth good money imo and more plentiful than just the ceolecanth, especially if there are no sea-bass. Mods is an interesting idea. I still have my GC copy, a Wii, and a wavebird. That's the ultimate way to play (if you don't have a gamecube). If there was a PC version with like a bigger, custom map, and multiplayer? I would play the crap out of that, and likely start a soccer league.

Awesome video Brian! Keep it up.

Super fun vid! If I tried this challenge I would probably get bored after catching the first 100 fish haha, big props to you

Mods have reinvigorated the OOT and SM64 community. It would be amazing if the AC community got mods that brought it back to life in that sense. Add more items, add more NES roms, add literal multiplayer, add cross play to pc emulators, there are options! Literal ‘mini games’ can be added, many new features. New animals/insects/fish, etc. I don’t see why mods couldn’t be loved.

I love that you still find ways to play this game despite it being 20~ years old :)

This was so much fun to watch, I love the idea of challenges and total completion but I have so many games I love and I don’t have the strength to stop playing them to focus on one 😂

This was an awesome stream to catch (pun intended) live! Great video

this channel is SO underrated. love the vids you make, keep up the great work :)

The Animal Crossing God posts a vid… I watch. Im a simple man… 😅

I took a shot everytime you said Coelacanth and I died

9:16 same with my parents haha. We started in 2008 with ACCF and my dad was the first to pay off his house :)

Pure bliss on the top left of this video.

Literally my mom waiting for me to go to school and then fishing all day. She finished her house first and got the golden statue and I was so mad.

Wish I could've seen the whole stream but I'm glad I got to see a little bit on stream and hey I made it on stream in video, 2nd straight!

really enjoyed this video

This channel is the epitomy of "I did XYZ so you don't have to" Keep up the good work Brian 👍

Good video I quite enjoyed this challenge.

I'd love mod support for this game, maybe backporting the slingshot? A bridge to the island would be kinda cool too.

Fishing in AC gives me slight anxiety and I always press too early :0 I would fail this challenge so bad. So you have my utmost respect. Even more respect than from any other average player.

Love this channel!

Incredible 😍You're teriffic, I love your AC content

We gotta have a full day of only Coelacanth catches now.

Despite how old this game, I still learn new stuff about its mechanics all the time

Saw this happen on Twitch... HOURS of "doo-doo-doo-do-do" with every catch.

Man I'm over here struggling to catch rarer fish, and you have no trouble at all.

I heard you in a video once say Arapaima can also be Tires? Never seen that before!

See? Lecanth!

Please please make more !

Would you look-

The whole video was some animal moaning everytime you caught a fish

4:21 Wait, people can mod GameCube games? It’s not that I want to, but people can do that??

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT!

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT

The montage is cool but the "woo" sound and KK Rock is off tempo by say 3-4 bpm. Not a music expert, I just play Bass/Guitar casually lol
