Years ago, my very young nephew visited us at Lake Gaston for the first time. He knew how to swim, but swimming pools were more his thing and he was a bit trepidatious about swimming in the lake. He started firing off questions - "Are there sharks???", "What about rip-tide???", "Pirahnas???" Of course I answered, no, no, no, but now this photo shows up in the Lake Gaston Gazette:
According to the wildlife expert that was called in to identify this 10-year old boy's catch of the day, it's a pacu fish, actually a cousin of the piranha.

Don't tell your nephew!
That's just what I was thinking. I also told my husband not to tell his granddaughter.
When I was little I was afraid of snapping turtles in the lake... now this!!! That's a creepy smile on that fish!
