Police divers have ended the reign of terror of a huge fish that was attacking swimmers in a Swiss lake.
The zander, which was 70 centimetres (two feet three inches) long and weighed eight kilos (17.5 pounds), was harpooned on Sunday after it bit six swimmers over the weekend, fish warden Fabio Croci told local media.

It’s not that big of a pike.

Two feet, three inches?!? Wow, that’s HUGH!

To: kenth
Two whole feet? No wonder the Swiss are “neutral”. They’re pansies.

Not the fish in the article but the same species. I guess I wouldn't want it chowing down on my toes.

Could this be the beginning of a whole new genre of monster movies? Instead of Godzilla destroying Tokyo, we could have “The Zander zat ate Zurich.”

I know a guy locally who got some 80 stitches in his leg after being hit by one of the big muskey he had planted in the pond behind his house.
He was out floating around in an innertube and the thing rose out of the weeds and hit him in classic hit and run pike style.
