Three fisherman trying to catch bluefish two and a half miles off Sea Isle City landed a 57 inch barracuda on Wednesday. Barracuda are a common tropical fish species that occasionally strays as far north as New England in the summer months.
Justin McCaffrey, also known as Capt. Zig, the owner and operator of First Fish Adventures in Sea Isle City, shared a photo of the catch on Facebook after officially weighing it in at 37 pounds. The NJDEP lists the state record barracuda in the “retired category” as 27 pounds. Read more at NBC40.net.
