There are still one million reasons to fish the Top End with the bonus round of Million Dollar Fish starting today.
As the $1 million fish was not caught within the competition timeframe, the bonus round has been activated and will run from 1 April 2019 to 30 September 2019.
All Season Four registered participants are automatically eligible for the bonus round, with another chance to reel in one of the five $1 million prize-tagged barramundi still swimming in Top End waters.
Here are the $1 million tag numbers to look out for:
- S1-MDF1469
- S2-MDF2656
- S3-MDF3556
- S4-MDF4540
- S4-MDF4663
Six lucky anglers reeled in prize-tagged fish in Season Four with one being a charity-tagged fish, a category added in Season 4.
If the $1 million prize-tagged fish from Seasons One to Four is not caught in the bonus round, there will be six chances to catch the million dollars in Season Five.
Million Dollar Fish Season 4 has received strong support from sponsors including BetEasy, Iron Jack, Anaconda, Shimano, TIO, Bigfish Gear, Engel, Club Marine, Holidays of Australia and Tourism Top End.
As noted by Minister for Tourism, Sport and Culture, Lauren Moss:
The Million Dollar Fish competition has helped boost the Territorys reputation as one of the best places in the world to fish and the bonus round gives even more chance to catch a prize winning fish.
Over the past four seasons, more than 35 people have won over $300,000 in prize money.
I encourage all Australians whether anglers or not to come to the Territory, try their hand at catching the Million Dollar Fish and enjoy our unique tourism experiences while theyre here.
As noted by Brad Fanning, Strategic Partnership Manager, BetEasy:
Million Dollar Fish is the greatest fishing comp in Australia, and were hoping the bonus round will reel in the big one.
Five $1 million fish are still out there in Territory waters, waiting to be caught and we cant wait for someone to change their lives with a single cast.
