1 - that is not a picture of a 40 pound fish

2 - those teeth are shaped like molars....for grinding.....not cutting.

3 - all British newspapers are tabloids

That fish is lucky to push 4 lbs not 40.

You just couldn't see his 36 lb. ballsack because of the angle.

A Pacu is basically a non-carnivorous Piranha.  I've kept them before, and a friend recently acquired an 8" specimen.  He's already lost a couple big cichlids to it. They don't take chunks out of you like Piranha, but they can actually be more aggressive (at least in captivity) and will bite anything.   I understand certain species reach 60 lbs in the wild.  If I ever actually swim in the Amazon, I'll be keeping my shorts on anyway as candirú fish really creep me out.
