I had an interesting morning this past Sunday... I was out doing some catfishing in the morning and was up above Camp ASCCA and Coley's Creek fishing near the banks with a minnow. I ended up catching a fish that I had no idea what it was...it looked an awful lot like a very large (16-17 inches) piranha. After about 10 years of fishing on this lake, I was a bit surprised to run across a fish that I have never seen before. I ended up putting it in the livewell and cruising around the lake to see if anyone could identify it. I had 3 or 4 folks say that they believed it to be a pacu! Nothing like having a South American fish show up in our beautiful lake!! Apparently, someone must have emptied their aquarium into the lake and I was the "lucky" one to catch the exotic creature! Needless to say, it made for an incredibly interesting morning... Has anyone else heard of these types of fish being caught in the area? Someone mentioned an Alexander City Outlook article a few years back that mentioned folks catching exotic species but I couldn't find it.
