While fishing in the Smith Reservoir in Lakewood, Colorado, 18 year old Travis Smith caught a fish with quite a bite. He first thought it may be a piranha, but realized that there are not supposed to be piranhas in Colorado. The teeth in the mouth of the fish were not what you would normally find in a fish here in the US.
Travis and his father investigated on the internet and sent photos of the fish to the Colorado DNR to determine extactly what species this mysterious fish was. It was identified as a “pacu”, which is a South American fish related to a piranha. Representatives from the DNR stated that it was probably purchased for someone’s aquarium and later put in the lake.
Travis has frozen the fish and is not sure what he will do with it.
Fishing is always full of surprises.
