It almost looks like a Piranha.. we use to have a few of them in our aquarium.
Kids would invite friends over for feeding time...

It's a South American fish called a Pacu. Not supposed to be in Illinois. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacu_(fish)

Pacu is a common name used to refer to several species of South American freshwater fish that are closely related to the piranha.
Ok... so I was close...
Oh and leave it to Torque to expand on this topic... LOL...

Couple years ago, they were finding Piranah in Muskegon lake, up here in Mi., They were upto 14" as well, never hear anymore about them, but, makes you wonder...

I caught a fish a few years ago in Florida that I thought had human looking teeth. It was just a common Sheephead though.:)

Thats really weird to catch something like that here in Illinois. Kinda makes you think twice about steppin in the water.
