The return of Million Dollar Fish comes after 19-year-old Keegan, from Katherine, reeled in a 67cm million-dollar barramundi in Season 9. Keegan is the first person in the history of the competition to reel in a million-dollar tagged fish. Since Million Dollar Fish began in 2015 more than 1000 red-tagged barramundi have been released and over $2 million in winnings given away.

It’s no secret the Northern Territory is home to some of the best fishing in Australia. For this season of Million Dollar Fish, there will be prize-tagged barra released into five incredible fishing regions, Darwin, Kakadu, Arnhem Land, Katherine and the Tiwi Islands.

All of Season 1 – 9 red-tagged fish have ceased to be active after the extended season ended on 30 April 2024 – Season 10 starts on 1 October 2024.
This year marks 10 years of the popular competition.
