The Million Dollar Fish social media channels have been taken over by an unknown fisho, who is promising plenty of fishy fun throughout the month of February to celebrate Season 8 of Australia's richest fishing competition, underwritten by SportsBet.
The mystery angler will spruik a number of promotions over the next four weeks, offering those registered for Million Dollar Fish added incentives to get out fishing. To find out exactly what's on offer, follow Million Dollar Fish on Facebook or @million_dollar_fish on Instagram.
Million Dollar Fish Season 8, which began on 1 October 2022, has been the richest yet, with a record-breaking $170,000 shared between 16 fishos so far. The season will end on 31 March 2023, when the remaining red-tagged $10,000 fish cease to be eligible for catching (there are 84 still waiting to be caught). But remember, the nine fish carrying tags worth a million bucks can be claimed year-round.
To claim any prize money from a tagged fish you MUST be registered for Million Dollar Fish. Registrations close on 31 March 2023.
For every $10,000 fish caught, an extra $1000 is donated to a Million Dollar Fish charity of the winning fisho's choice. So far, Cancer Council NT has received $9,000, the Starlight Foundation has received $6,000 and Shoreline has received $2,000.
