Competition

Welcome to the Northern Territory, the home of the Million Dollar Fish competition, where the waters come alive and your next cast could change your life.

Here, the Wet season brings more than just rain. As rivers swell and barramundi begin to stir, the stage is set for Australia’s richest fishing competition. Million Dollar Fish invites you to some of the country’s most spectacular locations, from Darwin’s bustling waterfront to the remote, pristine beauty of Arnhem Land and the Tiwi Islands.

In the Territory, world-class fishing comes with the biggest bragging rights of all: landing a red-tagged barra. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or picking up a rod for the first time, one cast is all it takes.

The barra are biting, the stakes are high, and the rewards are huge. Pack your rod and discover the Northern Territory!

While Season 11 has ended, fishos shouldn’t pack up their gear just yet. The Season 11 tagged $1 million barramundi remains active from 1 April to 30 September 2026. All tagged $1 million barra from Seasons 1–10 are not active. To claim the million-dollar prize, anglers must have been registered for Season 11 and comply with all applicable Terms and Conditions.
