There are many types of barracudas and the Great Barracuda is the biggest and meanest-looking if I'm not wrong.
Not my 1st barracud but my 1st Great Barracuda, and I saw everything when it went for my lure. ![]()
It zoomed up from the depths and BAM!! This is just a baby, the really BIG ones can make you give up on entering the ocean.
You can i.d a Great by the black patches on the body and the unique tail shape.
Witness a big one (can't tell if it's a Great)chased after what I think is a small todak on the water surface. The sight was WOW!! The really BIG Greats have no problem slicing a human into pieces, it won't eat you but you will likely bleed to death.
Watching predation in the wild is very different from watching on YouTube or TV.
