TERRITORIAN Jethro Kahler’s faith in the fishing gods has been restored.

A few fishing seasons back Jethro snagged himself a $10,000 barra that had been tagged for the BetEasy’s Million Dollar Fish competition.

Only problem was he caught it outside the competition’s time frame and had to be content with just his prized fish.

Jethro couldn’t believe his luck on Monday night when he hauled in another red tagged Barramundi worth $10,000. The 87cm fish was caught in a culvert in the Adelaide River.

“When I caught this Barra, I saw the red tag and literally dived on it,” he said.

“My mate reeled in another 91cm Barra as well- we could have got more but we were pretty happy with the red tag so we went home and celebrated with a few beers.” he said. “It was a pretty good afternoon and when we caught it we thought that it’s finally redemption.”

He plans on putting the cash towards car repairs for him and his friend.
