The barra are really biting for Million Dollar Fish, with one lucky angler hooking the first catch of the season within hours of Season 9 starting. Zain Lopez was fishing at Stokes Hill Wharf by the Darwin CBD at 3am on 1 October 2023 when he hooked himself a red-tagged barra worth $10,000. Season 9 runs from 1 October 2023 to 31 March 2024. Zain was lucky he remembered to register for Season 9 just hours before he caught his lucky catch, as anglers must be registered to claim any cash. Million Dollar Fish, underwritten by SportsBet, offers anglers the chance to bag $10,000 or become a millionaire by simply wetting a line and catching a red-tagged barra, and with the million guaranteed to be reeled in this year there's never been a better reason to fish the Top End.
