Furniture Caught:
Alf Dean caught the largest officially ratified rod-caught fish, a great white shark which weighed 1,208 kg/2,664 Ib at South Australia on 21 Apr. 1959.
The largest British freshwater fish
caught on rod and line was a 29.03 kg/64 Ib salmon caught by Miss Georgina Ballantine on the River Tay, Scotland in 1922.
The largest rod-caught freshwater fish in the US was a 212.25 kg/468 Ib white sturgeon landed by Joey Pallotta III at Benicia, California on 9 Jul. 1983.The furniture designer is well known, but the architect will be a new acquaintance to most people. It is 70 years since Bruno Mathsson had his first separate exhibition at the Roehss Museum of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg (Göteborg). Mathsson's furniture caught both European and American eyes following its international breakthrough at the 1937 International Exposition in Paris.
The basic industry of southwest Greenland is cod fishing. In 1915 only about 20 tons (18 metric tons) of fish were caught annually, but hydro-graphic changes thereafter allowed cod to move in greater numbers into Davis Strait. By the early 1960's more than 30,000 tons (27,000 metric tons) of cod were being caught annually. Cod-liver oil and shark-liver oil are processed on the island; halibut is caught and processed at Jakobshavn.
