1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. I've been following the story and

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have about Australia's most sought after fish

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: being caught that nineteen year old kid up in the territory,

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Young Keegan.

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: Explain the competition to me, because why is it the

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: most sought after fish?

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Well, they have a competition. They've been doing it for

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: the last nine years.

9
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 3: Every year they put a new fish.

10
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: In, They tag a fish and if you catch it

11
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: in a certain deadline you get one million dollars.

12
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 3: And in past years, has it been caught.

13
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: No? No, for nine years it hasn't been caught. And

14
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: I know this. When I worked at Triple M in Brisbane,

15
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: we did the million dollar Catfish, which is back in

16
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety s.

17
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: So you married a guy for twenty.

18
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: Years before the term catfish was even invented and would

19
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: catfish out of the Brisbane River because that's the only

20
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: fish that lives in that horrible brown looking thing. And

21
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: you get the fish, you tag it, they release it

22
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: and if you caught it, you've got a million.

23
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: Dollars And was it ever found?

24
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: So it's still a lot that river. You can't see it,

25
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: you can't see two centimeters into it?

26
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: Fine, Harold Hold.

27
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: Probably a catfish have a half life for a thousand years,

28
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: but it has to be caught in the prescribed time.

29
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: And did lots of people just go out?

30
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: Look?

31
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Everyone went crazy, like people are buying fishing rides and

32
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: running down to the base.

33
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: Are you sure you put one in? Of course, this

34
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 2: isn't my parents hiding the Easter eggs? And suddenly I'm

35
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: sure hid fifty?

36
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: Are you questioning the sanctity of a radio station's competitions?

37
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Actually be saying we don't take the tenth caller ranges,

38
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: and when we say more variety in our music, we

39
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: actually mean it. What are you talking about anyway? This kid,

40
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: this is how it unfolded on the news.

41
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: A single spotlight casts a dramatic glow on the tug

42
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 4: of war unfolding between a young Northern Territory man and

43
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 4: this Barrewoh, nineteen year old Keegan pain managing to wrangle

44
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 4: the sixty seven centimeters barrower onto the banks, not knowing

45
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: this fish would soon change his life.

46
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: You are the winner of the million dollars four Maybe

47
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: cap Dad and mom out with the homes?

48
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: That yeah, one million dollars a prize many fishers had

49
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 4: been hunting for the past nine years, but it may

50
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: not have all been celebrations today if it weren't for

51
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: the eagle eyed eyesight of his younger sister.

52
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: We're holding it with lip grips like that, and she

53
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: actually spotted it, and I didn't see it where we're

54
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: as blind as bat.

55
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: They were gonna take it home and eat it.

56
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: But lucky you're seeing the red tag. She saw the

57
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: red tag because we had the lip grips. I wonder

58
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: if we get some lip grips in this studio.

59
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 3: What do they do.

60
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: They grip the lips and stop you talking? Dead fish,

61
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: don't talk?

62
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 3: What an amazing story.

63
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: That's an amazing story. And I like fish because I've

64
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: got goldfish.

65
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: As you know, you don't have a good history with fish.

66
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: I yeah, can we tell the story about the two

67
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: big fish?

68
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Don't say that. Look, I still have trauma about that.

69
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: We had Jonesy had pulled a whole lot of stuff

70
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: out of a fish tank in his home. He didn't

71
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: even know it was there when he bought the house.

72
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: That's how overgrown the fish tank was, how big the

73
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: home is, and anyway, you then turned it into like

74
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: a swimming pool and wondered why the fish didn't survive.

75
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: But in the meantime someone said that they had twenty

76
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: They was it six years ago, been bequeathed too big

77
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: carp that they'd had for six years, that Charlie who'd

78
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: passed away, it had for twenty years. They and Ralph,

79
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: the guy was moving and he said, Brenda, and I

80
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: want you to have them. We all panicked because we

81
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: know what your history is with them. Night one, you're

82
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: out watching them in the swimming pool in the pond,

83
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: and one of them jumped out and skidded down the driveway.

84
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: It was the most traumatic thing.

85
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: And I was looking at the pond and I said

86
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: to my potential son in law, I said I would

87
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: jump out, and he said nah. And I walked over

88
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: and it jumped out, slid down the driver with the

89
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: dog chasing it. Oh. And I couldn't pick it up

90
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: because the thing was huge. I had to rip my

91
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: shirt off, wrap my shirt around the shed and plunk

92
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: it back into the tank.

93
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: Nothing to see here and that from the gills.

94
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: And this was after this big thing.

95
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: Yes, we did, this big emotional thing where his friend

96
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: had passed away had given him these fish he used

97
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: away and on hard.

98
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: I would look after those fish. Not even ten hours

99
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: into my lookie after, you were.

100
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: So and faced when you came to work that next day.

101
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: I've never seen you so upset.

102
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: I was so upset. But anyway, good news. They got rehouse.

103
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: They're living in a place in Savannia waters and as

104
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: far as I know, doing very very well. Great, So

105
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: that's good. Did you see the story about these Chinese

106
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: guys smuggling fish into the country ornamental fish, small ones, Yeah,

107
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: little fish, and they put them in their carry on baggage,

108
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: put them.

109
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: In a suitcase and to carry on baggage bags of course,

110
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: so they're alive.

Speaker 2: Yeah, but they so they smuggle them in water, they

114
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: go through an X ray.

115
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: I guess that's where it comes unstuck. Yeah, which makes

116
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,560
