On April 21, 1959, Alfred Dean caught a 2,664-pound great white shark off the coast of south Australia. Amazingly, he subdued this monster — the heaviest record fish ever listed by the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) — in only 50 minutes on 130-pound line. Dean also caught great whites weighing 2,333 and 2,536 pounds.

a big one? I think it's a huge one! I had never seen something like that before. I've been reading a lot of stories for the 50's and 60's, and I would like to know more about this, specially if we are talking about fishing.
