I have caught many of them and they can take a finger off before you know it happens.

They grow big too. We have a few in the canals in our area. They also like worms. Lots of strange fish in these canals. My son in law filled a pail with exotic species and told me he had about $1,000 in tropical fish but he was going to release them because he couldn’t take them back on the plane. People get bored with their tropical aquariums and release them in the canals.

How do you know it’s not a human with a fish-like body?
