Well ... if this angler had used worms instead of carrots for bait, then maybe he would of caught himself some perch or bluegill instead of a hippie vegan piranha!

Its the ones living near warm water outlets of power plants ya gotta worry about.
Vegan? How does the fish keep his dope lit?
I know, he uses a water pipe.
Thnk God it wasn’t one of those drum circle Piranhas.
I hear they are mighty tasty.
Some fish are vegetarians. Out of necessity due to a lack of bait I once caught a drum using a cherry.
“The fish Denton landed weighs about four or five pounds and he said it took him around 20 minutes just to haul it in.”
20 minutes to land it? Was he fishing with cotton thread and a bent straight pen?
Years ago I spent some time in Washington State...Asked all around where I could catch some perch...All the locals told me they don’t fish for perch...They are trash fish...
Found some perch, and ate ‘em...Good eats...
“A big ol’ herking fish”
Uff Da! Dis fish is eatin’ all da herrings!
Can they live and breed in those waters?
Gets pretty cold in the winter.
Someone's gotten tired of feeding that creature in an aquarium and let it go... funny thing is... I believe I know the chap that could have done this. I wouldn't put it past him.
The TV Show River Monsters had an episode about this fish. It was taken out of its native habitat and used as a replacement fish in some other country. Apparently the fish began attacking people and left marks that look just like a human bite. They have very strong jaws and teeth designed to crack nuts. It is not known how large they can grow because they are normally from a very high predation environment.
My wife and I have been cooking and eating alot of Tilapia lately. Apparently it was once considered a trash fish. I could live off of it. Wonder if the Pacu is similar. It’s good fried, blackened, or sauteed. Take some mayo and mix it with dijon mustard, horseradish, and diced dill pickles for homemade tartar sauce.
Was watching Andrew Zimmern last night. He was in Suriname.
One of the producers had a fishing rod and caught a huge piranha.
It was 20” long, weighed 5+ lbs. and a set of teeth similar to a downsized great white shark.
Supposedly very tasty.
