Fans who take part in the weekend event cam earn some awesome new rewards.

The news was announced in a recent blog post by Epic, alongside plans to bring the Triggerfish skin back to the in-game shop for on November 22.

“Triggerfish surfaces to present the first Fortnite Fishing Frenzy Contest,” reads an Epic post. “Beginning Friday, start casting your Fishing Rods for an opportunity to win a Bottom Dweller pickaxe or your very own real-life Llama Trophy!”
