I call BS - he had to be in the water for quite a while for that catfish to get involved in the action.

I think I agree.  I'm not an expert on pirhana, but I have read that they only do the B-movie strip-ya-to-the-bone thing when they're starving--for instance, when they get trapped in an oxbow lake after a flood and can't get food.  Normally they just take a little nip as they swim past.

If your bleeding, and your in the water Piranaha will and do attack.  If he fell into a school of them... 'nuff said. 

Women on their menses don't venture into the rivers in S.A. for a reason.

Please explain the catfish then, they are bottom feeders and non-aggressive.

If anything the pirannaha this fellow fell to were the bipedal money loaning sort.
