Members Muddler4 Posted June 3, 2012 Members Posted June 3, 2012 Be carefull what you reach down to lip. My fighing partner caught this at Busch Wildlife on Sunday.
Addicted to Creeks Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 its some type of piranha, i would guess an aquarium fish someone didnt want anymore what a story on the long rod (im kinda jealous) if he released it what lake? lol Fish always lose by being "got in and dressed." It is best to weigh them while they are in the water. The only really large one I ever caught got away with my leader when I first struck him. He weighed ten pounds. —Charles Dudley Warner
Members Creekfisher Posted June 4, 2012 Members Posted June 4, 2012 Looks like a pacu to me. Google "pacu teeth" and see if they look like the fish's. I hope you didn't release it. I would be so excited to reel one in though
Members Creekfisher Posted June 4, 2012 Members Posted June 4, 2012 What type of fly did he catch it on?
Addicted to Creeks Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 im guessing size 22 BWO v wing lol Fish always lose by being "got in and dressed." It is best to weigh them while they are in the water.

Members Muddler4 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Members Posted June 4, 2012 Wolly Bugger. I'm guessing about a size 6. And yes a Red Bellied Pacu, cousin of Piranha with non triangular teeth. I reported it to MDC. The fish is no longer in the system. Apparently got too big for someone's fish tank.
Addicted to Creeks Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 i refuse to believe that fish was doing anything but sipping drys Fish always lose by being "got in and dressed."

strangercreek Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 TFO signature series and hobbs creek reel, oh wait, you said ID the fish
OzarkFishman Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 They are known as nut-crunchers (i.e. they will crunch your nuts off and cause massive bleeding which has been documented to lead to death) ... at least that is what was said River Monsters. Strange stuff.
