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. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
