To leave a legacy and make Stuart a better place, longtime resident and avid fisherman, Ed S Sellian donated the 19ft tall sculpture to the City of Stuart.
"It seemed like a good way for me to give something back to Stuart, to a community that's been good to me and my family," Sellian told TCPalm in 2002. "I want it to be something the people of Stuart can be proud of." It has become the icon of the Sailfish Capital of the World.
