its a pacu alright,awesome catch.I had some in our pond,grow fast and people let them go.One dude kept his in 55gallon tank,said he had it for 20 years,fish could hardly turn around.I lost some big ones,my last one was hooked with a whole strawbery with just enough wieght to keep it down.I read on field and stream that a world record pacu was found dead after cold spell.52lbs ,old record in Ft.lauderdale was 44.I'm trying to get a pic from one a guy 40lb,I saw the pic,huge,plus I lost some of those myself,we fish this same lake were I live.Igot a small one way back when they were small,got him on bread.Some look different, I know there is also a silver one.This fish is called an underwater rocket,and the "freshwater permit".I know I guy who fell in love with one.He would ride his bike and feed him BK, he ate the pickles fries,we began to think he would go and swim naked with the pacu.I can only dream of one day catching her now that she's all grown up.
