“I caught it 11pm on Thursday at Daly River Crossing, I fish there every week,” she said. “I used a hand line, it was pretty hard.

“I didn’t see the tag at first, my partner did and when he did he was jumping up and down screaming ‘we’re rich, we’re rich’.”

It is the fifth winning fish reeled in this season.

Ms Ahfat said the $10,000 prize will come in handy

“I don’t think I’ve ever had that sort of money,” she said.
