A fish caught in Lubbock, Texas, with teeth that look like they belong to a human has baffled wildlife officials in the area, according to a report.

Fisherman Scott Curry reeled in the 20-pound fish on Buffalo Springs Lake and immediately noticed the catch had human-like teeth.

A game warden photographed the fish and is attempting to identify it.

General Manager of Buffalo Springs Lake Greg Thornton told KLBK13-TV in Texas that he has never seen anything like the fish in the 36 years he has lived near the lake.

A search for what the fish may be suggested that it may be a pacu, which is found in South America.

Curry said he believes he saw another similar fish while on the lake.

A Texas television station reported that lake officials will give $100 to anyone catching a similar fish.

It's the missing link!

OK, seriously - this does provokes a lot of questions. Where did the fish come from? Is it native? Or how could something like this have gone unnoticed for so long?

I hope to hear the further reports on this!

Reckon it ate the man and uses his teeth??

[billie]

maybe it was just a genetic quirk like lots of people born with extra fingers or toes?????

Hey - I go away for a few days and my hometown makes the news!

The local news channels have been carrying that story pretty heavy. It (the fish) is a Pacu, which is related to a pirahna. 'Cept the Paku is not a flesh eater, it feeds off vegatation at the lake bottom. People get the fish and then have to get rid of them when they out grow the aquarium.

gross lookin I think.

So, if these are known fish, why is everyone acting like it's a new discovery?
