Re: Hunting barracuda in Ibiza

hehe, spearo clandestino.
good going. I've only shot one barracuda. My experience from that time was that since they are often one of the top predators in the area they are not nervous. The one I shot just swam up very close to me to check me out, at the surface, and then I shot it. It pulled out half my floatline. It was a little scary grabbing it by the gills, those barracuda teeth inspire respect. I've read in some thread that they tend to rush in whatever direction they are headed when they are shot and because of this it's not smart to shoot them straight from the front, since it could rush into you and you risk getting hurt by your own spear or the barracudas teeth.
