Item Description

 Swim Free |  The Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby Committee unanimously voted in favor of removing Striped Bass as an eligible species in the 2020 Derby due to concerns about the health of the population. The Derby Committee recognizes the need to reduce pressure on Striped Bass as a supportive measure to restore healthy Striped Bass stocks. Widely recognized as the most important fish swimming in our waters, Striped Bass need and deserve our continued attention, as we work together on the recovery of the species. Anglers and Derby participants are encouraged to continue to think about Striped Bass, even if not fishing for them. 

Swim Free’s curved body and tail is forged out of 100% stainless steel with a flame brushed patina finish and welded face detail.
