DARWIN - A Darwin man has become $1 million richer after landing an 80cm, red-tagged barramundi during a night-time fishing trip with his brother, according to The Guardian's report. The catch was made as part of a Northern Territory competition, the report by Nick Visser stated. The report describes the night as one spent angling, a detail the outlet highlighted in its account of the catch.
The angler is Matthew Maurice, a 26-year-old from the Northern Territory, The Guardian reported. Before the trip, Maurice had finished football training, the outlet said, and the evening was spent fishing and talking with his brother.
Maurice, as quoted in the report, said, "I'm just happy to catch fish," after the barramundi was landed. The Guardian's summary does not include further remarks from him. Quotes from family members, competition officials or other participants do not appear in the material used for this report.
The Guardian reported the prize value as $1 million, saying Maurice is that much richer as a result of the win. The report, in the portion available for this story, does not describe how the competition is run or who organizes it.
