The Pacu DOES NOT EAT TESTICLES (the truth behind the myth)

The Red Bellied Pacu is back in the news, this time after being found in Lake St Clair near Detroit, and again it's being branded as a "testicle eating monster fish" or "the ball cutter."

Pacu The Testicle Eating Fish?






















Has the Pacu ever actually bitten off someone's testicles? FishingVideoNews will go on the record as saying "no."

Although the myth may have originated in 2001 when, in Papau, New Guinea, a fisherman claimed to have his penis bitten off by a fish; there is no evidence that the fish was a vegetarian Pacu.

One neo-tropical ichthyologist has mentioned conversationally that the entire Pacu misunderstanding was the result of poor translation where the Pacu's diet of 'nuts and seeds' was incorrectly translated into "testicles."

The video below shows a pacu actually eating nuts (testicles? I don't think there's much of a threat here!) under water. As you can see, this is probably not your biggest fear while swimming commando as this is a relatively small 'nut' and it takes about 3 minutes for the Pacu to actually make any progress on it!

Freshwater Shark Fishing! 8 Foot Bull Shark Caught 200 Yards from Swimmers in the Potomac River!

It reminds me of that Grateful Dead song... You know the words:

"Summer's here and the time is right,
for shark fishing in the creeks!"

Fresh Water Bull Shark Fishing in the Potomac River
















Last summer, two giant bull sharks were caught by a fisherman named Richard Riche (His buddies must have nicknamed him "Richie Rich" right? I can't be the first person to think of that...).


Although there's been no shortage of disappearances in Maryland fresh water, there's also no proof of anyone being bitten or eaten by a shark in the Potomac River despite the bull sharks' reputation as a man-eater. Either way, MD Dept of Nat Resources advised not to swim at night or early in the morning when sharks are known to feed.

It may be a secret as to how these guys caught these sharks but they definitely know what they're doing as this isn't the first time they've caught a shark in the river!

By now almost everyone fishing in North America has heard of the Snakehead.

The videos below provide a good sense of how large a trout or bass the snakehead can actually prey on.
