In a recent competitive game, Tom “72hrs” Mulligan’s squad was posting up by Tfue when an… interesting fishing rod play went down

With the fishing rod’s introduction, the community was quick to figure out that you can fish items closer to you. But that’s not where the story ends, as the feature was not utilized to the fullest extent until just recently. When 72hrs’ team based up right next to Tfue, they yoinked 2 whole big pots (!) from Tfue’s base

Take a look at the meme-dubbed clip posted on Tom's Twitter which accurately summarizes the interaction

For the record, this post hit the front page in no time. My favorite part is when Tfue realizes how he just got straight bamboozled... the face he makes is absolutely priceless

Don’t expect this to be the last time you see fishing rods create quirky outplays because I can assure you that there are many more Tom’s out there trying to game the system

What do you think - is Tom the smartest player in Fortnite? Let us know on Twitter
