What am I doing wrong?

<?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;
  }

  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("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");
echo $bass->getInfo();

?>
