We recently caught up with Arthur Chapman, who won the Million Dollar Fish Season 6 NT Now Helifishing Adventure! When Arthur Chapman found out heโ€™d won the ultimate fishing trip to the Territory, the first person he told (apart from his wife) was his best mate. Arthur said choosing his best mate of 46 years and fellow mad keen fisho Keith Gitsham was a no brainer. โ€œI had a few mates who were angling to join me, but Iโ€™ve known Keith since we were kids. Almost every fond memory I have as a kid growing up has me and Keith holding a fishing rod,โ€ Arthur said. โ€œWeโ€™ve been fishing all over Queensland and just a little in the NT, and he was the perfect person to share this trip of a lifetime for flying, fishing and fun in the Territory.โ€ Check out the full story on our website (link in bio).
Fishos, we've got some rippa news to share with you! ๐ŸŽฃ The results from Million Dollar Fish Season 6 are in, and we're stoked to reveal the comp generated an economic benefit (new money ๐Ÿ’ฐ) of $11 million to the Top End, and an economic stimulus of $41.3 million for the Territory. You little beauty! ๐Ÿ‘Œ Thanks to everyone registered for Season 6 (close to 29,000 of you!) and around 25,000 fishos who wet a line in the Top End to hook a tagged barra. Million Dollar Fish Season 7 returns on 1 October 2021, with regos opening later this year. Stay tuned for more details!

George Voukolus is no stranger to catching red-tagged barra! The Darwin-based fisho recently caught his FOURTH red tag at Cahills Crossing โ€“ the most tagged fish anyone has ever caught in the history of Million Dollar Fish! While the Cahills Crossing barra didnโ€™t have a prize attached to it, the Territorian has managed to reel in two other eligible $10,000 fish in 2016 and 2017. And the following year, the mad-keen fisho hooked another out-of-season fish in 2018. Howโ€™s that for luck?! Or should we say skillโ€ฆ We caught up with George (AKA the barra-nator) recently to find out his top tips for catching red tags in the Top End! ๐ŸŽฃ Watch out for crocs! Especially when land-based fishing at night time. ๐ŸŽฃ Keep changing your lure โ€“ if youโ€™re not having any luck after five or ten minutes, try a different one. ๐ŸŽฃ If you hear barra boofing, whack a fizzer or popper on. ๐ŸŽฃ Make sure you register for Million Dollar Fish in case you catch a prize-tagged barra. Subscribe for Million Dollar Fish updates at www.milliondollarfish.com.au (link in bio) and make sure you register for the competition once entries open on 1 September 2021.

The Barra Nationals are back in 2021, kicking off next Wednesday, 28th April. To sweeten the winnings this year, we're paying $1000 to the first angler to catch a Million Dollar Fish tagged Barra during the comp! ๐Ÿค‘ We can't wait to see who will take home the title and reel in the extra cash. For more information about the tournament, visit their profile: @barra_nationals Good luck out there fishos! #barranationals
