On the third day, Willoughby, again by pure luck, catches another large fish, eventually winning the tournament. On that evening, Abigail comes to his lodge, in tears. She apologizes for getting him in so much trouble and also begs him to refuse the prize and come clean with his boss, the tournament director and his customers and competitors about not being able to fish. After she leaves, he admits that he was going to do that anyway but that she made it easier for him. He gathers everyone and confesses everything. Even though his boss fires him, everyone is impressed by his honesty.
