I'm guess I'm not surprised. A few years back some were found in one of the Great Lakes (can't remember which one). Never heard
anymore about it. Sure wish the media would follow up on these stories.

Most likely somebody had it as a pet and either it outgrew the fish tank or ate all the other fish.....Then the owner decided to drop it off in this lake. The piranha is a warm water fish so it would not have survived the winter, most likely.

What did you use to land it, ghost? Sirloin or London Broil?

In PA we’re starting to deal with an invasive fish called the Northern Snakehead. Unfortunately they breed here and are expanding their ranges. And the dang things can “walk” on land for short periods to get between bodies of water.

Better check your bathtub before getting into it tonight, DiO.

I used the Chuck Norris method. I pointed at the piranha and yelled "YOU! UP ON THE BANK, RIGHT NOW! BOOYAH! ....."A piranha once tried to bite Chuck Norris' beard, the piranha's teeth exploded, but Chuck let the fish go as a warning to all other piranha."

Gee, I wonder if they will get rid of them?

Sooner or later, the term "invasive species" will give way to "visitor species" or "guest species" or "global species." Every time I pick up a nature article, some ignorant jackwagon is putting a plant or animal into an environment that's not ready for it.

I hear ya. I imagine the winter in the lake would kill Mr. Piranha but still not a good idea to set it loose in the lake.
