Tagged fish worth $120,000 released in Top End waters!
The chances of bagging a prize-tagged barra have never been higher in the history of Million Dollar Fish, with 12 additional $10,000 fish released in the Darwin region. Million Dollar Fish, underwritten by SportsBet, is now in Season 7, and this is the first time more fish have been released once a season has started.
Dubbed ‘All I want for Christmas is a Million Dollar Fish’, the campaign is to encourage more locals and visitors to hit the water for the chance to catch a prize-tagged fish, with hopefully several fishos bagging an early Christmas present.
Collectively worth $120,000, the 12 barra bring the total number of active $10,000 Season 7 fish to 107, as five have already been caught. In addition, there are eight Million Dollar Fish swimming around Top End waterways. This season, every $10,000 fish caught sees an additional $1,000 donated to a Million Dollar Fish Official Charity Partner. Once the Million Dollar Fish is caught, an additional $10,000 will be donated to a Million Dollar Fish Official Charity Partner.
With more cash up for grabs than ever, there has never been a better time to wet a line in the Territory. Million Dollar Fish Season 7 started on 1 October 2021, and will finish on 31 March 2022. To claim a prize-tagged fish or be in the running to win fantastic prizes as part of the monthly Lucky Prize Pool, you must be registered. Register at www.milliondollarfish.com.au.
