An angler just broke a new fishing record in the Tarheel State.

Warren Poirier of Charles City, Virginia, caught a 56-pound, 4.8-ounce almaco jack in the state of North Carolina.

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s (NCDEQ) Division of Marine Fisheries recently certified the new record for the fish.

Poirier was fishing at the “The Rocks” in the Outer Banks along with Captain James Bowman, according to an NCDEQ press release. 

The fish struck Poirier’s Zest brand jig as he was battling the amaco jack, also known as a seriola rivoliana, for 45 minutes.

Poirier also used his Shimano Trevala rod and Saltist 5000 reel with an 80-pound braid, the release noted.

The fish stretched 46 inches fork length, from the tip of the nose to the fork in the tail, with a 31-inch girth.
