A cash reward of $1 million is being offered to the fisho who can bring in Australia’s Most Wanted Fish, currently at large in Northern Territory waters.
A campaign dubbed ‘Australia’s Most Wanted’ has been launched to increase the odds for those on the hunt for the Season 7 Million Dollar Fish. The slippery suspect was last seen in Darwin Harbour wearing a red tag.
Fishos willing to join the hunt need to register their details before hitting the water in order to claim their cash reward if they catch a tagged fish.
Registrations close on 31 March 2022.
The fish hunt is part of the Million Dollar Fish competition, underwritten by SportsBet. There are eight fish carrying a $1 million reward (including all those from previous seasons) that can be caught year-round, but registration is required before 31 March 2022 to claim the cash.
There are also 100 $10,000 fish still waiting to be caught. They are only active until 31 March 2022, the end of Season 7. Once the first Million Dollar Fish is caught, cash rewards for the remaining seven fugitives decrease to $10,000 each until the end of March, or become null and void if the Big One is caught between April and September.
