Barracudas for dummies

wow be careful with that stuff.

Yeah. Dan can have my share of cudas anytime.

Well, the other day decided to shoot one. It was a very small one.

Pan seared it with some spices and fish tacos for dinner.
Was very surprised with how clean that white meat looked and tasted. Very good!!!!

As I said before, I see them every time I go out but they aren't a challenge to spear. They always come close, check me out and leave in a very slow casual way. So unless I m really itching for some fish meal and not caught anything, I will let them be. Between the ciguatera threat and those teeth mighty as well keep hunting for other species.

PS: Pic is of last "big" fish I caught.

Second pic: Earlier that day saw my first cubera. Was not sure what it was at the moment so I hesitated and did not shoot. When I got back I went online, researched and kicked myself about not shooting. By far, biggest fish I have seen to date. Biggest fish I have ever caught was a 20 pounder, by comparison I thought this one was in the 40 pound range. Live and learn. Now I am looking for it every time I go to that spot.

I wanted to start a private thread as a factual and informative thread about sharing barracuda information.
No BS, no old wives tales, just real and useful information about everything a spearo wanted to know about barracuda and barracuda spearin.
Please add any real or proven or useful or informative barracuda information to help other spearos learn all about barracuda and barracuda spearin.
Thanks for contributing
