PURCELL, OK -- A couple in Oklahoma hooks quite a catch. Tim Benson and his wife Tammy went fishing on Father's Day at Lake Purcell and caught a fish with lots of bite. They thought it was a piranha, but it was actually a Pacu.
It's a tropical fish from South America that's cousin to the piranha.
"You put your fingers in there and touch it and it would try to clamp down," said Tim Benson.
Tim still has all his fingers and a Father's Day fish tale he'll be telling for a longtime.
