There are now 24 Million Dollar Fish swimming around Top End waterways. Once any of the 24 Million Dollar Fish are caught, the remaining 23 revert to $10,000 fish. In addition to the Million Dollar Fish, for this season 99 $10,000 fish were also released across the Top End’s five main fishing regions - Darwin, Tiwi Islands, Kakadu, Arnhem Land and Katherine.


This year, 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 9 Official Charity Partner. A further $10,000 will be donated to an Official Charity Partner when a Million Dollar Fish is reeled in.
