An 11-year-old Oklahoma native has reeled in an exotic catch — one that is most certainly not native to Oklahoma.

Charlie Clinton of Edmond, Oklahoma, caught an exotic, invasive fish known as the Pacu, a freshwater fish related to the carnivorous piranha. It's a South American fish, native to the Amazon.

The boy reeled in the fish on July 16, according to the Facebook page of Janna Clinton, the 11-year-old’s mother.

Charlie Clinton caught the exotic fish in a pond behind the family’s house, one of the primary places he goes fishing when in Oklahoma, he told Fox News Digital.

The Oklahoman said he was in shock when he first saw what he caught.
