Oct 31, 2010: Fish Story

xoxoxoBruce · 10-31-2010, 12:44 AM

From the Austrian Times comes the story of Dan Nowak entering a fishing contest at, "a power station reservoir in Rybnik, Poland".
The punchline is. "he hooked a monster 49-inch Piranha". Say what? Piranha? Poland? WTF?

Now looking at the photo, either Dan is one badass mo-fo, or that fish ain't even close to 49 inches. Maybe 18 or 20, tops.

Quote:

Nowak, 28, claims he hooked the normally tropical brute in a stretch of warm water heated by a power station...

That would explain the warm water fish's survival, plus warm water would provide more food, which could explain the size... sort of... maybe... I guess.

But the really strange part, nobody would believe it's a Piranha, because of it's teeth.

It looks like it ate a human, and swallowed everything but the dentures.

Quote:

But experts are wondering if Nowak's fishy tale is really the whole tooth.
"There's something distinctly strange about the piranha's teeth and it's a huge fish - twice what you would expect," said one.
But officials at Bukow Mini-Zoo - where the fish is now on show - confirmed: "It was probably dumped by an owner who didn't realise how large it would get."

They didn't mention if it was a Nuclear plant or not.

No what?

I guess he caught it with a fishing pole.

49 centimetres would look about right. Inches, harrumph.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say - 49cm and

OMG. That thing is disgusting!

I've been watching a lot of TV lately (don't ask why) and there are a TON of lake monsters out there - not just ol' Nessie.

there are four in Canada, one here in the US (Lake Champlain monster called Champ) and there's one in just about every large lake anywhere. I got to wondering --- who swims in those lakes? I sure as hell wouldn't. *shiver*

When you haul something like that in ..... you should always be aware ... its MOMMY is lurking around somewhere .....

It's been a bad week for bad week for monstrously big animals.

Someone shot the Emperor of Exmoor - a giant stag.
Apparently, anyway (there is confusion since)
It was supposedly the largest wild animal in Britain.

I haven't had any reports that it was wearing dentures though.

If there's confusion, send the venison to the Cellar. We'll taste it all, and let you know.

Maybe it was 49 cm, which equals 19.3 inches.
I feel fairly confident in saying that they do not use inches in Europe.
