Description:
The Leaping Tuna Statue in Avalon, California is a striking bronze sculpture that celebrates the island’s deep roots in big-game sportfishing. Created in 1998 by artist Joseph Quillan, it honors the centennial of the Tuna Club and the legendary bluefin tuna that once filled local waters. Positioned near the waterfront, the dynamic, mid-air fish captures the thrill of the chase and pays tribute to Avalon’s role as the birthplace of modern sportfishing.
