Aquarium fish caught while angling.

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

Agreed. And if anyone says he didn't, should remember that exotics or non-natives of ANY kind should not be in our NATURAL ecosystems (The canals of FL do not count as natural ecosystems.)

That was at Folsom lake, hopefully he wasn't yours... j/k. I also see koi swiming around occasionally. It always surprises me that those fish don't get eaten immediately by a big bass or Salmon. Some of the koi are too big but others say in the 14" range are perfect dinner size for a big predator. And with their color they have no place to hide.....

This guy was bass fishing with a buzzbait and he caught this pacu while we were fishing. He was affraid to touch it til I told him it was a pacu.

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

Yeah, I am just relaying what the papers said though. Don't shoot The messenger lol. I will try to find that article so I can post a pic.
