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.

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.
Still nice but.....

I would have to live to be 113 to get all the payout!!!
