I cannot seem to pass this question:

Create a fish object named bass with the following data: name: "Largemouth Bass" flavor: "Excellent" record: "22 pounds 5 ounces"

fish.php 
<?php

class Fish {

  public $common_name;
  public $flavor;
  public $record_weight;

  function __construct($name,$flavor,$record){
    $this->common_name = $name;
    $this->flavor = $flavor;
    $this->record_weight = $record;
  }

  $bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");

}

You need to create the object outside of the class. You are creating the object from within the class. Move it out of the class and the challenge will pass.
