A leaping swordfish sculpture, described in a 2015 report as 30 feet tall, was reported outside the building in Dania Beach, next to Bass Pro Shops, that housed the International Game Fish Association's headquarters and its Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum. That report said the museum was moving to Springfield, Missouri, and that the swordfish would stay in place. The building was sold to Bass Pro Shops in 2023, and the sculpture's present condition has not been confirmed.
