A young girl in Oklahoma said she snagged a weird catch over the weekend, reeling in a fish bearing human-like teeth.
Kennedy Smith, 11, was on a fishing trip at Fort Cobb Lake with her grandparents and brother on Sunday and got really excited when she hooked the fish on her line, she told The Associated Press.
But to Smiths surprise, her grandmother was bitten by the animal while she was trying to take out the hook.
"I was confused because I knew that fish with teeth are not normal. It was weird," Smith told the outlet. "They were human-like and that made it even weirder."
Turns out that the strange looking creature was a Pacu, Caddo County Game Warden Tyler Howser told The Associated Press.
I've actually caught one myself, Howser said. As soon as I saw (it) I said I know what that is. ..."
Officials said the toothy creature likely got into the lake after first being bought as a pet and then getting released once it became too big.
Pacu are considered an invasive species that can destroy the native Oklahoma fish ecosystem and habitat, so the fish Kennedy caught was taken by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and destroyed.

"...another pet invasive species released into a lake..."
Exactly. I have always wondered what kind of a$$hole thinks it is a good idea to randomly introduce random fish and animals into an ecosystem. Unreal.

Why is it these “writers” can’t write succinct and clearly anymore??
The title implies the little girl is catching fish with HER teeth.
To: ETL
Do catch and release but first find out who its dentist is, he does a great job.

I think pacu, unlike piranha, prefer eating fallen tropical fruit, seeds and nuts [hence the big grinding teeth in the back]... but that would not be an option in Oklahoma.

Evidently there was enough vegetative material in the lake to allow the fish to thrive. Those teeth look like they could do real damage to a swimmer but I’d still be more worried about a snapping turtle than this particular fish. Perch are bad enough for a male swimmer.

She caught a fish with human-like teeth? Why would you say that her teeth were’human-like”?
I love the English language.
