Pickhandle Barracuda (Sphyraena jello)

stewart whitfield - Thursday, September 10, 2009

The Pickhandle Barracuda is known all over the world as the Sea Pike and the Slender Barracuda. Barracuda's are often portrayed as man eaters, this is hardly possible as they do not grow big enough and they will flee when disturbed. However if you know there are 'Sea Pike' in the area and you have an open wound, do not go swimming. If you do a shoal of these formidable predators will soon be around you. Otherwise they are fairly placid fish unless provoked or when they are distressed.
