Swimming with the Fishes

The pacu is a fish that can get as big as 55 pounds. They were originally from South America but have been turning up in lakes around the U.S. It is suspected that they were purchased as aquarium fish and then released when they outgrew their tanks.
In Papua New Guinea pacu were released in an attempt to boost fisheries. Their primary diet consists of nuts (not the testicle kind!),aquatic vegetation and snails. The pacu is also known as the "ball cutter" from repeated attacks where it has bitten the testicles off fisherman with its human like teeth.
My first thought was what were the fisherman doing with their pants off,but since nudity was never mentioned I assume they were clothed. The pacu could be a possible alternative for those men who hesitate to have a vasectomy!
