Lucky Leanyer resident David Ashfield has reeled in a red-tagged Million Dollar Fish worth a whopping $20,000 thanks to the competition’s special March Madness campaign.
To celebrate the final month of Season 6 of the competition, in February underwriter Sportsbet announced they will pay double the money to the first registered fisho who hooked a valid tagged fish this month.
David is that fisho, and takes home $20,000 instead of $10,000. He caught the 65 centimetre fish on a trip to the Adelaide River with a mate. He’s been fishing the region for more than 30 years.
This is the 11th fish caught as part of Season 6, which has now paid out $115,000.
