I saw you come in yesterday Sven!

On the new web cam! I was waiting for you to pickup your yellow and put it in the cooler...

Cool experience! I bet it was a sea-lion that stole your barracuda - not a seal. And, no they are not afraid of hammer head sharks at all. Sucks that you got robbed. Not much you can do, except call Seaworld and thank them for "rescuing" and releasing 100s of "starving," over-populated sea-lions.

I landed a barracuda at LJ last week in about 90' of water, it was about 40inches long. this was definitely one of the largest that I've ever landed

Havent seen big cuda, or numbers of smaller cuda, locally for years. Cuda arent my favorite fish but it'd be good to see em back. Mike

Congrats on your personal best Swen. After reading all the post about different ways to prepare barracuda, it makes me wish I had kept the one I caught last year while drifting for yellows. It was the largest I have ever seen. I didn't think of measuring it and I released it but I have looked at the picture I took and measuring the distance that I have my arms in this picture the barracuda had to be 52+". It was a monster. I don't think I would release another like that, if I was lucky enough to ever hook another that size. That was deffinetly my PB barracuda.
