Never had a problem with barracudas, and here they can grow as big as 2.5m (we get the big barracuda species as well as the smaller ones with yellow tails).... Frequently, when diving on wrecks, I am surrounded by as much as 20-30 baracudas. However, I have lost many fish to barracudas going into feeding frenzy of speared fish; that include fellow barracudas that I speared (and btw they taste delicious!)... I have also once injured a finger while trying to retrieve a barracudas as it suddenly snapped and gave me a nice bite over the kevlar gloove as I was trying to get my hand under his gills.
