I thought it was kind if intimidating when Tortimer said that Truffles (I hate her anyway) got a tuna of 99.9 inches. She eventually got a 102.5er but the 99.9 was more scary since it was 9s.
I think the numbers in the fish database are just averages, or typical lengths, otherwise if they were all exactly what it said, you could catch several of the largest fish and be guaranteed a trophy every time. But as far as I can tell, you only really need one trophy...seeing as how there's no date or even the name of the champ on them.
I wasn't aware that there was interest in the bank...I don't recall it in the GameCube version. Is there really interest now?
I remember using the "doppelganger trick" in the original game to multiply my money. At an average of 14.5 million Bells a day, it still took me over a couple months to get to 999999999 Bells just for that stupid post office model! I wonder how I'm going to get that amount now, short of getting a cheat device (which I don't want to).
