1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Now as we know, the steaks have been raised in

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,359
Speaker 1: the million dollar Fish competition this month with more cash

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: up for grabs and joining me in the studio to

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: explain well why size matters? Is the Northern Territory Major

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: events Corn Honey, good morning to you.

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 2: Good morning Katie.

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: How are you, Koran? I'm well mate, Explain to me

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: how does this new campaign work? And well why size

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: does matter in this case?

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I'm I'm not sure if should be talking

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 3: about this, but size matters?

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: What does it mean?

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 3: So I suppose, in partnership with sports bit, for all

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: of December, if you catch one of our beloved tagged

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 3: barrow money during this period whatever I suppose, whatever it

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 3: measures and centimeters multiply five thousand and that's what you're getting.

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 3: So if you catch a seventy centimeter fish, you're going

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: to be collecting seventy k's with this.

19
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: Period, Koran.

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: Is this for everybody that catches one of those tag

21
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: fish or only.

22
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: For the biggest, just for the longest the space of

23
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: the period of December. So catch you fish, register it

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: straight away, because we will if there is a tie

25
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: for arguments take it will be on the first fish

26
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 3: that's caught, comes in, it all gets measured officially, gets

27
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: stored away as such in terms of that measurement. And

28
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: like I said, if you're fortunate enough to be getting

29
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: to the end of December and you've got the biggest

30
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: fish there, well, the longest fish, you'll be paid out

31
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: percent a minute.

32
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: This is awesome, Like I reckon, it's a fantastic thing

33
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: to do, and no doubt it's going to mean that

34
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: we've got even more people getting out there and wanting

35
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: to fish.

36
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 3: Well, this season's been the biggest by far and away ever.

37
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: You know, we've had sixteen fish court today, so one

38
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy thousand already paid out, which is remarkable.

39
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 3: So thanks to Sports Better Partners for that. But more importantly,

40
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: you've got to be out there having a go, and

41
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: our numbers are up, the registrations are up, and what

42
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: we do know at the moment is once again for December,

43
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: you've got to have a line out in the water

44
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 3: to catch them.

45
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: So please register and get out there and do your best.

46
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: Now, what's the biggest catch so far? Just to set

47
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: a bit of a benchmark for fish ice.

48
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: First, first fish off the ranks, send the meters.

49
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: It was ninety centimeters yep.

50
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: So that would be ninety k payout.

51
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: Geez, that's good going.

52
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: Is a lovely start to twenty twelve.

53
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be incredible? It'd be absolutely incredible. I think

54
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: people are going to go berserk for this. Are you

55
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: guys sort of just as keen to give the cash

56
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: away as what people are to win.

57
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: It, considering it's not our money. So yeah, absolutely, And

58
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: I said, we're just fortunate we've got a good, good

59
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: partner on board with sports Bet. So it's it's a

60
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: fantastic opportunity. You know that the season's been fantastic to date,

61
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 3: and you know, but there's nothing better for it. We

62
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: love this storm the year because we get people coming

63
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: to the office, we get the mirror of fish, heavy yarn,

64
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: and more importantly, there's some cash getting stacked in some

65
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: pockets leading into a pretty cool time of the year

66
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: being Christmas.

67
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 1: It's sure is Hey, what are some of the key

68
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: spots where people have been, you know, catching those winning.

69
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 3: Fish across all of the I suppose the fishing regions

70
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: we've got fish out there, but to date we've seen

71
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 3: fish court down the Mary daily's going pretty.

72
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: Good at the moment as well.

73
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 3: You know, it's all across the territory in general, this

74
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: fish throughout the entire entire region.

75
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: So just get out there and have a crack.

76
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: So how many of the ten k fish have gone

77
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: so far?

78
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: Sixteen sixteen so far?

79
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 3: And we had one fish which was in another part

80
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: of another competition which was double the dough. So one

81
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy k has already gone out the door.

82
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: Fantastic and so many how many of the ten k

83
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: fish we got out there?

84
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: There was one hundred in total so on my masts,

85
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: not that flash, but it will.

86
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: Be still plenty left over.

87
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: Eighty Just get the big one.

88
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: Isn't that good either? Now do you reckon? This season

89
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: has been one of the best.

90
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: It has by far and away. So it's been the

91
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: biggest start for the first couple of months. I think

92
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: we're seven or eight fish up on previous years today.

93
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: And I think it says a lot about this.

94
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: People are out there in a crack, you know, and

95
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: we're fortunate that people are catching them.

96
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: It's great, good stuff. I mean, it's been a fantastic

97
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: season so far. We know that it's going to heat up.

98
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: I guess for one of a better word over this

99
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: Christmas break period as well, because probably people have a

100
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: little bit more time on their hands if they get

101
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: a bit of time off work to get out there

102
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: and get amongst it.

103
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we see it like it's like everyone we're all

104
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: keen for a bit of a break as well. But

105
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: you know, I've got it. Enjoys me coming in from

00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: a holiday to see someone and verifirefish and you.

107
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: Know, put like I said, put some money in someone's pocket. Yeah,

108
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: Australia's richest fish and competition. It's we're so lucky.

109
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is fantastic made. It's been a massive year

110
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: for NT major events, hasn't it? Do you guys? Do

111

Speaker 1: you get to wind down at all towards the end

112
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: of the year or not?

113
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: Really we do a little bit, to be honest, but

114
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: it's been awesome. Like our six main events this year,

115
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 3: we've head over one hundred and thirty five thousand people

116
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: through over seventy sorry, over seventy five thousand people through,

117
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: driving about one hundred and thirty five million of economic impacts.

118
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 3: So we clean those events up now, to be honest,

119
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 3: and we reset and push really hard. So based in
