Barracuda get a lot of attention for being scary.
Sharp teeth, warp speed, bad attitude. They deserve their reputation. They are an awesome and underrated sport fish. I love the adrenaline rush of catching them on the fly.
What they get very little attention for is what a beautiful fish they are. Their iridescent colors and primal markings make them worth a closer look.

Totally agree, Louis. Even the little guys are fun to catch, but the bigger brothers can give you blistering runs and fun. I have taken time to change flies on a bonefish flat to cast to barracuda, and it is well worth the effort.
