Although it's native to the Amazon, a testicle-eating fish species called "Pacu" has been turning up in places including Denmark, France and Illinois.
Now, a large Pacu has been found in northern New Jersey, just more than 10 miles outside New York City.
Retired bus driver Tom Boylan hooked a 10-inch-long Pacu on Saturday at Third Ward Veteran's Memorial Park in Passaic, N.J., according to The Bergen Record, which posted a photo of the fish.
Pacu have wide teeth shaped like molars and strong jaw muscles that allow them to crack open tree nuts and other tough aquatic foods. Somewhat terrifyingly, however, the fish have been known to mistake human testicles for tree nuts. Two men in New Guinea reportedly died from blood loss after a Pacu chomped on theirs.
The exotic fish, which migrate upstream in order to spawn, can weigh up to 55 pounds and grow up to 3 or 4 feet in length.
“Most likely, someone had [the 10-inch Pacu] in their fish tank and it grew too big, so they dumped it,” Pat Egan, manager at Absolutely Fish, told The Bergen Record after the store identified the fish. “We call them ‘tank busters.’ We don’t even sell them because they grow so big."
While the news of a Pacu in Passaic County is likely to scare some local residents, the good news is that the fish reportedly can't survive cold temperatures, so swimmers should be safe by spring.
Still, it might be wise to keep your swimsuit on.

The obvious solution is simply to not skinny dip.
I'd worry far about the Snakeheads crawling around our rivers.

Ye. Snakeheads, Alligator Gar, Sting Rays, or one of many other fish that are a real threat. The thing about Pacus is nonsense. They are very skitish fish. They would have to be very hungry to do that.
People like to point out they are related to piranha, but so are neon tetras.

Its because ordinance is still a word.
However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.
People buy them as 3" long fish and then have to get rid of them when they get to big, as they grow to 3 foot+. They end up throwing them in the river.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I'm sure there's a "Barry the Big Mouth Bass" angle to come at with these things... possibly... in a perverse way.
Fish has better teeth then I do.

I have no doubt that that fish could crush your bollocks.
What I can't understand is how it got there in the first place.
