I did wills, not last night but I watched the Piranha one last night and it reminded me of predatory fish and then I was on Planet Catfish and they have a section called Parasitic Catfish and I thought "Ooh... That would be a good one" 
Speaking of the Piranha episode, Jeremy put a freshly killed duck in the water infested with piranha and the only remaining stuff was what was above the water. The rest(chest cavity and everything) was gone in seconds.

Oh, I missed that episode of River Monsters, love that prog by the way.
Wow, sounds gruesome, was this about Red Belly Piranha?

Yeah it was. He was trying to prove that Red Bellied Piranha wouldn't kill living people for the sake of it. Well it didn't work out that way but in the process of trying to prove it he got in a pool with over 100 piranha in it that he'd poured blood into and sat there with them swimming around him...
He also jumped into the Amazon river after fishing for 5 minutes... In that 5 minutes he pulled out loads of Red Bellies and he still dived into the water with wild piranha lol. Crazy man.
Edit: Spelling.
Yup, that sounds like the sort of thing Jeremy Wade does.
I would NOT though.
But that does make a certain amount of sense though, piranhas won't really attack unless there is blood or a fresh cut/wound then once one piranha starts then pack attack mode starts.
Really, piranhas are pack hunters so most of the time they are docile, boring even, until they have the taste for flesh.....................

Ah well he was investigating a bus crash where all the passengers(it crashed into the Amazon) were eaten alive by piranha's. The passengers were obviously bleeding from the crash but like I say, he got into a pool with Piranha after pouring blood into the water to get to them going. So that theory was out. So he looked more into it and in the end he figured out that a mixture of blood and thrashing in panic got the piranha's into attack mode. He jumped into the piranha infested waters of the Amazon himself though and thrashed about but no attack.
Giant Orange Piranha - Pygocentrus piraya
