FUCKYEAHJEREMYWADE
allcreatures:

This is the ferocious ‘Ball Cutter’ fish which has killed two men by  biting off their testicles. A British angler has told how he snared a  predator known to feast on the testicles of men.
Jeremy Wade, 53, spent  weeks fishing in remote Papua New Guinea after locals told him how a  mysterious beast was castrating young men in the area’s waters. He  finally caught the perpetrator: the Pacu fish, known locally as The Ball  Cutter. Jeremy wrestled the 40lb monster on the floor of his boat and  opened its snapping jaws with his bare hands to discover a set of  human-like teeth. The Ball Cutter boasts an impressive set of gnashers,  which tear off the testicles of unwitting anglers and swimmers, leaving  them to bleed to death.
Jeremy, from Bath, Somerset, told how he reeled  in The Ball Cutter as part of his new series of River Monsters, aired on  ITV next week.
