The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife has announced that Richard Eglesbe of Lakewood made his way onto the state record fish list recently by landing a new state record Gray Tilefish. Richard was fishing off a boat when he reeled in the 18 pound, 14 ounce fish, eclipsing the old record caught by Joseph Sanzone 7 years ago off Toms Canyon by 7 ounces.
