Pacu (The Fish that will Eat Your Nuts)

[Fish_Eye]

I caught a number of Pacu while fishing in Brazil...up to 15 pounds. It was like fishing for tautog, as we were using fresh water crabs and you had to wait for the second bite as they passed the crab beyond their front row of human like teeth and into their gullet where they get crushed, then swallowed.

I even ran into three Brazilian Spearfishing Champions that were shooting them in the same water where large piranhas and caimans could be found. They are one of the greatest eating fish you can imagine...after all, they dine on crabs and coconuts....sweet! Pacu ribs are a local delicacy and the "gonad grabbing" sensationalism is par for the course with Jeremy.
