That is a once in a lifetime fish. Congrats to the angler for the world record.

"The money will be paid in $20,000 annual installments over the next 50 years, so Yocom, 55, plans to live a long time." What a bunch of BS.  nosmly I know he was not fishing for the money, but there should have been some type of cash settlement just like the lotteries.

Tight Lines,

Nice fish, congratulations to the Captain & crew. chrz
 The annuity prize payment schedule does suck. fcp I guess you could sell it to J.G. Wentworth,and at least put a few hundred grand in the retirement account.
