Re: If you caught the $1m fish, would you go halves?
Around 30 years ago, a mate won $10k in the scratchy he was given as a present – split it 50/50slug wrote:Sheesh - all u boys are getting a bit ahead of yourselves aren't you??
I mean, when you buy a family member, relo, mate, etc a lotto ticket or scratchies as a birtday/xmas/etc gift, do you enter into a formal agreement as to the split up of the winnings before you hand it over
Then bugger me, a few years later, the mate who had won the 10k bought the same fella a scratchy and it won $2k.
The other bloke kept the lot - not a cent, nada, zip not even a beer was bought. I would have flogged him

Re: If you caught the $1m fish, would you go halves?
I reckon 90/10 as a starting point. 90% to the catcher (boat owner or deckie) the remainder to the poor bugger watching on. When there's 3 or more people and the catcher is one of the deckies then they need to be a bit more generous as the boat owner should get 10% min. How much people get depends if you want to have any friends . A few years back a mate hooked an 85 cm barra at the Finniss mouth in my boat. Video evidence shows hooks pulled out with the fish at the edge of the boat and me netting a completely free and wild barra. He claimed it, I let him, I'm not so sure if it had a red tag.

Re: If you caught the $1m fish, would you go halves?
Depends what is agreed before you start, fair share between all on board if thats agreed b4 starting whether its $10 or $1m, must say it could bite you on the ass big time if its everyman for himself, trolling a few lures its a lottery, so 1/2 or 1/3 or whatever is better than nought, way my boat rolls anyway its shared evenly
Although a scenario could be, left with 3 on board, million dollar barra caught, retrieved the boat myself with million dollar barra, sweet lol
Cheers Craig

I'd go half with the missus
The past is history,the future is mystery,the moment is a gift and that's why it's called the present
