Piranha drama: boy, 8, hooks fearsome exotic fish in Pennsylvania lake

Seamus Coffey, an eight-year-old boy fishing with his father Michael near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, unexpectedly caught a large red-bellied piranha while searching for bass. This South American fish is renowned for its powerful jaws and razor-sharp teeth. Local officials believe the exotic creature was likely released into the lake by a previous pet owner. The discovery of the fearsome breed is highly unusual for the eastern US landscape, where such species are not native.
