I notice the California story pointed out it was actually a pacu, a plant-eating cousin of the slasher fish. Maybe the other two were as well, and simply weren’t identified by someone who’d know the difference?
Still pretty freaky, though.

“Here’s “Two-fingers” Murphy and his fishing partner “Thumbless” Joe Whitlock with their prize winning catch.”
heh.
