Looks like that forum is up to date since the award was made yesterday, March 7th. The Longbeach show runs from 3/6 to 3/10.
Yocom, whose record 427-pound yellowfin supplants a 405-pounder taken three years by Mike Livingston, was recognized for his accomplishment yesterday
during the second day of the Fred Hall Show in Long Beach, Calif.Pompano - 3-8-2013 at 08:09 PM
And was awarded a one million dollar prize by Mustad hooks....one of which was used to catch the record tuna. Not bad for a day's fun in Baja.
When is 1 million dollars not really 1 million dollars?

Well Roger, not quite. The check was only a "replica" check.
He will get $20,000 a year for 50 years. Not exactly the same and who knows what happens when he expires if Mustard goes the way of the Dodo bird.

Some people would complain if they were hanged with a new rope.
