Pirahna

I was fishing for bass with my 2 sons at a local creek on Mineral Springs Rd. between Harlem and Union Rds. We were using spinner baits when suddenly I hooked into what I thought was a large bass. After a difficult fight I reeled in a pirahna which must have been released into the creek from someones fish tank. Obviously I didn't put the pirahna back into the water, I left it on the bank to die. I took some pictures with my cell phone which are attatched. Let me know if and when you might air this story. Thanks! Tom

That fish is a Red Belly Pacu. They are related to Pirahna but completely harmless.
