Excitement is building for season seven of Million Dollar Fish, with registrations opening today for the Territory's iconic fishing competition.
Season seven of the popular competition officially opens on 1 October 2021 and runs until 31 March 2022 with specialised tagging of Barramundi already underway.
The pool of prize money, underwritten by SportsBet, is set to be the biggest in the history of Million Dollar Fish, which means there are more chances than ever to bag a winning barra.
There are now eight $1 million fish swimming around Top End waterways, including the recently released Season seven Million Dollar Fish, in addition to the remaining $1 million tagged fish from previous seasons.
Once any of the eight Million Dollar Fish are caught, the remaining seven revert to $10,000 fish.
Anglers also have the chance to reel in 100 red-tagged barra worth $10,000.
Each time a $10,000 barra is caught, the lucky fisho will have the opportunity to donate an additional $1,000 to a Million Dollar Fish Season Seven Official Charity Partner.
A further $10,000 will be donated to an Official Charity Partner once the Million Dollar Fish is reeled in.
Those who register for Million Dollar Fish season seven could walk away with fantastic prizes as part of the Lucky Prize Pool drawn every month.
Over $61,000 worth of prizes are up for grabs such as a Great Northern Tiwi Island Breakaway, Shimano fishing combos, Anaconda vouchers, Britz campervan getaways, Engel fridges and freezers and Top End fishing holidays and experiences.
Following a huge uptake in season six, the official Million Dollar fish shirt is back with a fresh design and available to purchase through Darwin businesses and Million Dollar Fish partner Big Fish Gear.
Million Dollar Fish has lured anglers to the Territory from all over Australia and the world since 2015, but no one has yet caught the elusive Million Dollar Fish.
The $1 million tag numbers you want to find in your lucky catch from previous seasons include:
· S1-MDF1469
· S2-MDF2656
· S3-MDF3556
· S4-MDF4540
· S4-MDF4663
· S5-MDF5501
· S6-MDF6474
Fishers are reminded to register for each new season of Million Dollar Fish – even if they registered in previous seasons.
