Welcome back, man. We've missed you since 2007. Gotta say, though, you're making us "quantity over quality" folks look bad. Your new goal should be an average of two posts per year. Go!

Those aren't piranha teeth. These are piranha teeth:

Maybe a big one is older and has been wearing its teeth down longer.

Its most likely a Pacu. I'm not sure how he caught it though since it is a vegetarian species.

It could be a Pacu, he said he was fishing for Carp, so he might have been using a baitball. That's something a Pacu, especially that size, might gobble whole.

That makes infinitely more sense. I admit to not reading the article.

Definitely Pacu. And not a very big one (they get to be 60lbs or more), if somewhat out of its natural stomping grounds. Wrong head for piranha, wrong coloration for piranha, wrong size for piranha.

Oh, just one more thing... Pacu are well(?)-known for their human-like teeth.

I've always said that humans are well-known for their Pacu-like teeth. After all, evolutionarily speaking, I'm pretty sure they had them first.

I thought it was a Pacu, but I had no idea how big they got...

We do in England. (I'm aware this was not caught in England, merely submitting information that might be useful to future travellers)

For example I do not know my height in centimetres, despite being brought up in the metric age. Ditto weight in kg. And we still talk about miles, although I'm more likely to use metres for smaller distances (blame athletics)

I do deal in degrees celsius though.
Just to be difficult.

Yabbut you don't talk about weight in pounds either. You use stones, ya bunch of weirdos.

Is that photo to scale?

How big is your monitor?

His elbow is on is leg so he's probably holding the fish a foot and a half two two feet out, and the camera is close enough to the fish to full frame it. So no, the perspective is off.

how is he holding it with just one hand that's off center? You might assume his other hand is in back, but what could he possibly be holding onto there? There don't appear to be any fins on the sides of the fish. That picture looks all weird. Maybe he's stabbing it with a knife on the other side and holding it that way.
