Fisherman Scott Curry reeled in the 20-pound fish on Buffalo Springs Lake and immediately noticed the catch had human-like teeth.


A game warden photographed the fish and is attempting to identify it.


General Manager of Buffalo Springs Lake Greg Thornton told KLBK13-TV in Texas that he has never seen anything like the fish in the 36 years he has lived near the lake.


A search for what the fish may be suggested that it may be a pacu, which is found in South America.


Curry said he believes he saw another similar fish while on the lake.


A Texas television station reported that lake officials will give $100 to anyone catching a similar fish.

This is a Sheepshead which can be caught in the Bay. They are very tasty, second only to Pompano IMO.

I think that fish needs to go see Molly's dentist.

Sheephead are good to eat but the teeth I can do without...

Can I assume Molly is a dog?
I almost got offended when I read that (my name is Molly, by the way) then I realized how utterly absurd that was.:clap_1: Hooray for me beeing a little slow on the uptake!

Every few years somebody catches a pacu in a bayou and people get excited because they think it is a pirhanna (sp?). This is the first time I have seen the excitement over the teeth and not the potential killer fish threat. ;-)
