In Animal Crossing New Horizons, Fishing Tournaments are special events that let the player try to catch as many fish as they can in a limited time to earn

Point Total Prize
100 Points Total Bronze Trophy
200 Points Total Silver Trophy
300 Points Total Gold Trophy

Given the rate at which you are likely to accumulate points (and knowing that everyone will catch fish at a different rate depending on skill), you can likely expect to take up to an hour accumulating 100 or so points.
Not everyone has the time to fish for several hours straight. If you find yourself unable to accumulate enough points in the day but still want a shot at a trophy, you can quit the game and turn your Switch’s internal clock back by a few hours to extend your time in the tournament. However, if you slip into the next day or the previous one, your point total will be lost.
Below are all the different prizes you can win from the Fishing Tournament by trading in 10 points to C.J.. He should give you a different prize each time you trade in points until you have each type, at which point you will then start receiving duplicate prizes.
