I was targeting reef snapper. Got a grunt instead. Decided to keep it in the water instead of pulling it out. And ended up getting this little barracuda that decided to dine on the grunt. We measured it at 42 inches. Not a huge one, but it will become chum meat for the next trip.
Nice. Will you be able to a little table fare before the chum?

Over here barracudas have toxins so not safe to eat.
From what I know, it's reef dwelling Cudas that wind up with the Ciguatera toxin. Not sure what reefs qualify but I think I would avoid the S. Florida oceanside ones.

Chunk it and use it for deep dropping, grouper and snapper cannot resist.
Stays on the hook for a long soak!!
Good luck and post if used:-)

Sounds nice in theory. But I keep getting shark after shark after shark when I try to up my bait chunk sizes and keep them near the bottom.
