Nathan Neave reeled in a tagged barra on New Year’s Eve, and the lucky 19-year-old pulled another $10,000 fish out of the water on Saturday afternoon.
“I didn’t even think I would catch one of the fish let alone two,” Mr Neave said about his success in the NT Government’s Million Dollar Fish competition.
Expert tagger Bill Sawynok from Info Fish, who spent two months catching, tagging and releasing the prized barramundi in locations across the Top End last year, said the odds of someone catching two fish was huge.
“It’s like winning lotto, and what are the chances of someone winning gold lotto twice,” Mr Sawynok said.
