Cool! Piranha?
Pacu?
That's my guess. I would need a better picture of the teeth to be sure though. I've kept multiple piranha species over the years and red bellies have a different shaped dorsal fin, but with cross breeding and natural vs aquarium things can change.Quote:

17" it's still a baby. I've helped relocated a few that were almost 3 feet long and they put up a heck of a struggle. I don't envy you having it sitting between your legs in a kayak. You do know they like to eat nuts & berries lol.Quote:

It did put up a bit of a fight pulling it in. Had no clue what i had, even when i saw it in the net.
I went to pull the hook out. Saw the teeth, did a hard nope and left it in the net, hook line and all for the trip back to the dock.
It was a mess manuevering. Exciting.
I caught something like that a long time ago fishing on the coast of New Jersey. It had black across the back and those teeth. Never knew what it was but remembered those teeth.
May have been a sheepshead , sorta look like a black drum but have those type of teeth .caught this one in NCQuote:

No. Looked like a lot like BrutalAB's did but not blue, more of a dull golden color with a black dorsal area. Was weird and looked mean with those teeth.Quote:
