Tom and Holley Luft were fishing at Lake St. Clair on July 9 when Holley said she caught the 14-inch Pacu.

At the time she said they weren't sure what it was and thought it sort of looked like a Blue Gill. However, it wasn't until they got the fish under a better light that they saw the teeth. That's when Tom thought it was a piranha.

“In 2013, a pacu specimen was found by a fisherman in Denmark. This led to media reports mistakenly warning that the fish could attack male testicles. The reports were based on a joke that was not meant to be taken seriously.”

A woman is better fit for this capture than a man.

Kill everything that flops? That’s a pretty big group, from movies to body parts.

Lampreys are very creepy, like something a child would make up to scare their younger brother, yet they are real.

What’s the international symbol for “No swimming — Pacu present”?

It's not a sign, it's a recording of Alessandro Moreschi singing Ave Maria.

I know that, I just thought it would be funny to drain the wrong lake in the heat of the moment.

Is this the “peacock bass” that sportsmen go to South America for, because of its extreme fighting qualities?
