On Thursday New Jersey fisheries officials certified a new state record for winter flounder in the spearfishing division. Smith’s winter flounder measured 19.25 inches long with a 15.25-inch girth. Winter flounder are a separate species from summer flounder, also known as fluke, which grow much larger. But Smith’s record won’t actually affect the other rod-and-reel records already on the books. New Jersey maintains a separate category for spearfishing records, with 17 different saltwater species eligible for inclusion.
