17-10-2006 20:32 by JOHANSWAN	anybody watched the news at 7 on bbc one they had youngters fishing a pond at stockport and lad cought a piranah in pond somebody stupid properly didnt know what to do with his piranah was a big fat fish wich make you think that is was in there for quite a while
17-10-2006 20:39 by daves	it's old news,been on piranha forum again,similar story.Urban Myth
17-10-2006 20:40 by daves	a piranha wouldn't last long in our ponds anyway!
17-10-2006 20:43 by JOHANSWAN	welli dont know how many truth behind it but they ddid show the photo off the fish and the pond where they are altough it wouldnot make it through winter
17-10-2006 20:50 by daves	yeah they also showed a photo a few months ago,and the story was mentioned before on piranah forum,i think the photo was in a stockport paper,apparently the version in the paper memtioned someone catching it and throwing it back in,a few days later someone found it dead on the bank,hence the photo!
18-10-2006 09:13 by paul stevens	And what would you know daves (higgins) about piranah... And wheres my mug.
18-10-2006 16:49 by Bruce	It's in todays paper
18-10-2006 17:56 by tasha	oo i saw tht today a kid was holding it wiv a fishing rod lmao he looked cute... poor fishey thou
19-10-2006 21:28 by Redshark1	Had one reported in our local park pond. Went down and it was a Pacu. Just another abandoned pet -I've taken abandoned dogs, a kitten and noticed rabbits and a pet rat in the woods.
20-10-2006 18:06 by daves	urban realities then instead of urban myths,people just dumping unwanted piranhas which can never live in our ponds,and eventually die,such cruelty exists in the developed and 'civilised'age of instant gratification!No doubt,these same people will go out and buy another more exotic and rarer breed of piranha,only to dump them again when they are outgrowing their 2' tanks or they can not clean their tanks out because they are afraid of them!
20-10-2006 18:07 by daves	can't understand why they don't sell them,there are plenty of people who will buy them anyway?
20-10-2006 19:07 by Mattaru	Hey, I was there. I live in Stockport, and the person who caught it, Josh Boyle, lives on my street, next door to me. The pictures people saw I took, It was pretty cool.
21-10-2006 01:31 by daves	ok Mattaru,tell us the story in real time,verified and backed up with the newspaper or tv media who reported it and we'll all check it out!
21-10-2006 01:33 by daves	oh and by the way since you are on this forum,how come you haven't spoken up till now?
21-10-2006 01:34 by daves	looks like Mattaru is the real urban myth............
22-10-2006 00:10 by Mattaru	I only just joined when I saw this on google. We were riding on our bikes on the field where he caught it, and we saw one of our friends dad there fishing, he said he keeps seeing some weird fish popping up, he said its just some weird carp but we said it was a piranah. we went to his house and he got his rod and put a spinner on the end, we got there and after about an hour he finally managed to hook it in its tail, he pulled it out and I got it in my net, and took the pictures. I phoned his brother, Callum, and a few other people and they came down. I have around 30 pictures of the piranah on my computer aswell. You know what's ironic? The piranah didn't bite his fingers, but 2 days ago the end of his finger got caught in some big gate and it snapped off, he had 4 stiches in the finger, and it won't fully heal for a year. Sad eh?
22-10-2006 00:16 by Mattaru	Oops, didn't explain it right, I meant we were riding on our bikes on the field by the pong where he caught it. Sorry!
22-10-2006 00:18 by sonia	dont get you Matt
22-10-2006 00:53 by Mattaru	What's there not to get? It's not exactly complicated
22-10-2006 00:54 by Mattaru	If anyone wants to talk to me on MSN, my MSN is cunnelly@hotmail.com, I'll be on later.
22-10-2006 00:55 by sonia	i get the funny thing (well ironic) about geezers finger in the gate, but i dont get the first bit, your were on your bike, are you saying you are the one who got this piranha that was on the news??? why dont you post pics of the piranha on here?
22-10-2006 00:57 by Mattaru	No, I'm saying that he caught it and I was with him, I just got it in the net. And yeh, I'll post the pics in a minute, good idea.
22-10-2006 00:59 by sonia	nice one
22-10-2006 01:01 by Mattaru	Uploadin them now
22-10-2006 01:04 by Mattaru	http://s122.photobucket.com/albums/o245/Stockport_Piranah All the pictures are there
22-10-2006 01:04 by Mattaru	Click on em to make them bigger you wont find most of these pictures anywhere else, I took them on my phone.
22-10-2006 01:10 by Mattaru	Well.. I'm goin now, talk to yall later.
22-10-2006 01:17 by sonia	thanks for the pictures, but i still dont get it? the fish is obviously dead. If its dead someone could have just recently dumped it or something surely? I thought we would see the fish alive? anyway i am sure there are some prats about that put fish in rivers and lakes etc that they had as pets.
22-10-2006 10:32 by Mattaru	In those pictures it isn't dead, It died a few days later, we went down to fish there and it was dead on the bank. He caught it alive. And yeah, there are prats that do that, which I'm sure is what happened to the Piranah.
