Invasive Fish Caught has Human like Teeth
Cal Sportsman ^ | 6/6/2016 | C Cocoles

Posted on 06/06/2016 5:29:24 AM PDT by w1n1

A Petaluma fisherman got a big bite, but didn't expect the fish he reeled in to bite back. Juan Gallo caught a pacu fish at the Lucchesi Park pond in Petaluma over the weekend. But as he lifted the fish from the water, its teeth cut the line.

A pacu is a freshwater fish typically found in the Amazon River and a relative of the piranha. While the fish is sold at U.S. pet shops, they’re illegal in California.

Gallo managed to keep a hold of the fish, and plans to turn it over to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. He said if they don’t want it, he may have it stuffed. See the video coverage here.

Allowing the release of human hormones into the water supply: what could go wrong!

Meanwhile, a pond away, fisherman has chat with his latest catch. Film at 11!

“Testicle eating piranha-like fish with ‘human’ teeth may be heading for Britain’s rivers”

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/testicle-eating-piranha-like-fish-7392356

“The Pacu, also dubbed ‘The Nut Cracker’ and ‘The Ball-Cutter’, boasts a set of human-like teeth which can easily rip off a man’s private parts”

That picture is just wrong, and really looks like a Simpson’s episode done with live actors.

Missing link?

Millenia ago, a desperate monkey got it on w/a fish and out popped Steve Buscemi.

Nothing new. We've been catching Tautog off of Cape Cod for decades. They've got the same kind of teeth.

If they find one with dentures, I'll really be impressed.

This happens every year around the country and these stories follow. Reality: Someone has a piranha or a fish from the piranha family in their aquarium, it gets too large or they just need to get rid of it and they drop it in the local lake. Some unsuspecting fisherman catches it and story follows.

The fish looks better, and is probably smarter.
