The Department of Environmental Protection has confirmed a fisherman from Philadelphia reeled in a record-breaking fish off the coast of Cape May.

Len Andalis caught the fish last Friday around 4 p.m. about 4 miles off Cape May.

Andalis says it took him about an hour and a half to reel in the 90.6-pound cobia fish, which officially broke the New Jersey state record.

He says he never expected to catch a cobia, and was just fishing for flounder.

"Cobia are southern fish,” says Andalis. “These last few years, down off the coast of New Jersey, we've been seeing a lot of them. I tell ya what, this is the first cobia I caught in my life."

He had the fish weighed in at the South Jersey Marina.
