Aquarium fish caught while angling.

[Chrisplosion]

Someone had dumped a green terror into a lake where I fish. So while fishing near shore it kept swimming up to us, so we tried to catch it with a net but it was faster than us. Then 5-10 minutes later it would be back so we would keep trying every time he came back but never caught him.

I don't have pics but I was shown an article in a local paper of a 5lb 14inch pirahna caught in a lake here in Louisiana, won't catch me skinny dipping out there. Lady caught it on a night crawler

I can already tell that it was not a piranha. Probably a pacu...

I just recently went fishing in my kayak and a fancy tail goldfish surfaced right next to me. I slapped it with the end of my fishing rod and either killed it or stunned it. I then scouped it up and threw it on shore. Sorry of there are any PETA members on here.

You did the right thing, just not in the gentlest way.
