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.
Thanks for that, will keep it on mind!
They shoot off like a rocket!!
