Always start again
Say, you have a friend who has the fishing tourney happening in their town (Bob of JaguarTown for instance).
So, your friend Bob catches the biggest fish in JaguarTown with a measurement of 35 inches. In your town of Mayorsville, you catch a full pockets worth of sea bass all measuring a bigger than average size of around 40 inches. Afterwards, you travel to JaguarTown to get them all measured. Since they are all the biggest fish of that town and they all have a bigger than average size for a Sea Bass, you will get a fishing tourney item for each one, regardless if the last one you show Chip was bigger than the next one you show him. This is because, since you are a visitor of the town and not a resident, your fish do not get ranked. This means all you have to do is keep showing Chip a Sea Bass that is bigger than your friend Bob's 35-incher. Example, you show Chip a Sea Bass that measures 40 inches and then right after show him a Sea Bass that measures 39 inches. You will still get a piece of furniture for both of the fish because they measured more than Bob's Sea Bass. The only thing you will not get is a trophy from Bob's town even if you attend your friend's awards ceremony because you were never officially ranked.
I hope this makes sense and I hope this helps out a few people who still want fishing tourney items. I know this to be true because I saw it happen for myself.
