A man in New Jersey has broken a state record after he caught a hybrid fish.

John Vayda reeled in a 16-pound-10-ounce hybrid striped bass at the Monskville Reservoir in West Milford, New Jersey, according to the NJ Division of Fish & Wildlife.

In a Facebook post, the division said he caught the record-breaking fish on Oct. 9, while he went on a fishing trip in search of walleye, a freshwater perciform fish.

Vayda reportedly went fishing with two friends and their visit to the Monskville Reservoir was considered a "practice run" for a future trip.
