OOP PHP code challenge help

Create a method on Fish named getInfo that takes no parameters and returns a string that includes the common_name, flavor, and record_weight for the fish. When called on $bass, getInfo might return "A Largemouth Bass is an Excellent flavored fish. The world record weight is 22 pounds 5 ounces."

What is wrong with my answer?

I am getting syntax error on line 10 unexpected $this. Expecting ;

Thanks

fish.php 
<?php

class Fish
{
    public $common_name;
    public $flavor;
    public $record_weight;
  public function getInfo()
  {
  return "A " . $this->common_name . " is an " $this->flavor . " flavored fish. The world record weight is " . $this->record_weight . " .";
  }
}

$bass = new Fish();
$bass->common_name = "Largemouth Bass";
$bass->flavor = "Excellent";
$bass->record_weight = "22 pounds 5 ounces";
?>

The code is correct, the issue here is that you are missing "." in the return section after it says "is an"
