That is most definitly a pacu. I raised 3 of those little monsters and ended up having to sell one to a pet store and the other two I donated to BYU in their freshwater fish exhibit. These fish eat just about anything and grow really fast and yes, they get extremely huge. Mine that I donated to BYU have grown absolutely huge. I can't imagine hooking into one of those. A fish like these can really wreak havoc on a local ecosystem. It is too bad that people just let them go in local waters. What is worse is these fish are sold everywhere without people knowing how big they get. They seem to be really popular due to the fact that they look alot like a pirhana. Most people can't take care of something this big.
