Andrew was on board his boat Success III fishing 60 miles east of Whitby when he and his crew landed the monster fish.
He said: "That's an unusually large one for the North Sea.
"It took three of us to lift it out.
"They're very powerful fish and could break your arm with a flick of its tail.
"We get quite a lot, but they're usually in the 20 to 30kg range".
The fish ended up at The Magpie Cafe while another 20 kilo fish Andrew landed went to the Whitby Catch.
