as a scuba diver I swim a lot with barracudas in cuban waters , is a fast and powerful fish that deserve a lot of respect.
...cool bc everytime we dive ,we hunt these muthafkas with ice piks ..we are very successful 🔪 🎏🔪🗡
Got a baracuda one feet from my face and nearly shit my self.
Surtout avec des dents aussi pointus.
Make sure to never to wear a silver necklace
@@amandoc6520 Good thinking. 👍
that fish killed nemo's mom!
I grew up diving both coasts of Florida. Had many encounters with sharks but never feared them, even as a kid. I felt like I could almost predict their behavior. Barracuda, on the other hand were sneaky, smart, fast and highly unpredictable. I always kept my eyes on them and where they were at all times. Sharks could mostly be ignored as long as your behaviors were normal
Pro tip: DO NOT wear jewelry in the ocean
why not wear jewelry?
@@truhd everything that shines, they’re barracudas foods.
^What he said. Just don’t ever do it in case you lose it. Be safe
Yes very true. I was just on a dive trip in the florida keys. We swam with Bullshark and Manta rays , both of which were calm and predictable. There was a school of 30-50 huge barracuda that would follow the snorkelers and get really fkn close to the women wearing jewlery
I’m my experience it’s the bigger solo artists that hang outside the school yard that really need watched. Maybe the school yard bully? 🙀
Once owned a great Barracuda. Fabulous V8!
Lionfish: I have no natural predators.
Barracuda: Gimme a minute...
Moray eels.
They can do damage to a human, but they generally don’t mess with humans because we’re too big. That is unless we’re wearing something shiny. However, if you’ve speared a fish or lobster they might go after that. Divers have been training barracuda to go after lionfish because it’s an invasive species.
Was going to say it's great news that they are willing to eat Lionfish. We definitely need to encourage and protect the Cuda's doing that.
Spot on. I believe that there has never been a documented unprovoked attack by a barracuda on a human, let alone a fatality.
How do they train them to do that?
Si me gustó el video que miré barracuda
Lmao, there's no such thing as an invasive species especially in the ocean. All animals you see in the ocean or inland was put there. period. whether they call it invasive or not they put it there...
Barracuda are some of the most physically impressive fish I can think of. Their body is solid muscle and they move like a torpedo. Every time I came across barracudas when snorkeling, I gave them a wide berth.
Very solid muscle. Their meat has the same chewiness of a free range chicken
Spitting image of a freshwater muskie !
Interesting when I came across them during my snorkeling tours in the Bahamas I would chase them no matter how large they are. They'll run away from you if swim towards them.
my customer gave me a baracuda that he caught but I could not eat it because I couldn't cut even with saw
For the past 8 years, I have taken a trip to Akumal and there is a solitary cuda that is always in the same place, every year, every day, every time. I know all of them are unique but this one is actually friendly. He will come up to you and wait patiently until you pet him. He has been habituated to people feeding him and does not see people as a threat whatsoever and never gets aggressive, even when feeding.
for the u aqariummeee u do uhu?
@@nielskerszemaker5377 what does that mean in English?
Well that poor fish is in danger.... Some idiot will probably kill it.
Wow, I've just been to Akumal one week ago and I was fascinated by a barracuda that I saw there. I wonder now if I maybe saw that one. It was steady in the water looking at me without moving. Is it like 80-90 cm long? I would not like to talk about the location because I agree that this poor fish is in danger.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Went to Akumal last week and got that sucker with a frog gig. Thanks for the tip!
voiceover is scarier than the barracudas
You focused on the wrong stuff
I have been diving for 40 years and have come across barracuda with every dive. I have a newfound respect and admiration for this predator. This video was very well done!
well if you have been diving for 40 years what is this newfound respect you have it makes little sense, have you ever been attacked, have you seen them act unnaturally what is it you mean, this is just a question and not an attack in any way.
As a kid, I always feared Barracudas, mainly because of Finding Nemo. Then I grew up, and thought they were harmless to humans. Then this video cam along.
Barracudas are the gangsters of the sea
I remember dropping anchor one evening about 10 miles out from Mayport on a little wreck we use to fish. We had just put some new anchor chain on that was just shiny enough to make the barracuda attack it. And that is why you do not wear shiny objects while diving. :)
Always a no no

What fantastic landscape photography. I'm amazed that you're all coping with the temperatures! Looking forward to the next episode.
Excellent Video, very interesting !!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I scuba with them all the time, they’re super chill. Never ever felt threatened by a barracuda.
because you aren't a shiny fish
…. caught many a barracuda, but I’ve never eaten any of them. Ciguatera poisoning can last for up to 21 years, and even when it’s out of your system, you’re never quite the same again. No Sir, that’s a chance I’m not willing to take.
The fact that they can eat lion fish in the Caribbean alone makes them amazing and invaluable!
Отличный фильм! 👍🌊🌊🌊
Back in the 1960s I was in Florida, standing on a dock looking into the clear water. I was just a young boy. I could see some mullet swimming as well as other ocean life. Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, a huge barracuda came in fast and bit down on one of the mullets, leaving the mullets head, sinking down to the bottom. I ran to my family to tell them what had happened. My mother grabbed the movie camera. My dad went into the water and retrieved the head of the mullet. I have a 8mm film of that retrieval. But I will never forget seeing that happen.
Used to teach SCUBA in Thailand, had to advise people to tuck their jewellery inside their wetsuits or we'd have a barracuda following us watching the glistening of their necklace etc... They are so fast, you hear a thud when they accelerate near you.
Being from Bermuda, we'd see Cudas 4-6 ft around beaches or shoals and smaller ones in the bays and mangroves. Never seen them or any recording of them eating lionfish. Always a scary feeling snorkeling and coming up on a 6ft Cuda. I found out, doing a stare down usually works and they swim off. Jumping off the rocks is a fun summertime event for all ages in Bermuda. Jumping into a school of juvenile Cudas, is nerve racking, but easily understood. Right before you hit the water, they move off, but the time you surface they are usually on your 5 or 7 o clock. Fun fish to snorkel with and watch hunt. Just remember your jewelry and dive masks, reflect the sun and that makes you a target for curious Cudas.
Who the hell wears jewelry while diving?
@@arthurragan1332 you'd be surprised the amount of ppl who swim with chains or bracelets
Nice voices..😂
Bermudian here 👋
@@lavinceuncgrillzellis8761 I swam with my engagement ring on as a barracuda approached me. It scared the crap out of me and we had a stare down until it swam away. I was new to snorkeling and I wasn’t even aware of the type of fish it was until I did some research
Many thanks! Several times during my snorkeling in the far reef I was in a situation when a barracuda was moving around me making me very uncomfortable. Sometimes it was close to the end of the day when the waters around the reef became darker and the fish were not well visible. Couple of times there were a few barracudas cruising around me and especially when one of them was large ~5.5 ft long. Once it was the case when I was not careful enough and dropped my camera which landed right underneath the fish. I wasn't ready to lose my pictures of the day and It took a lot of courage to get it back.
Came face to face with a mean looking barracuda while snorkeling in St. Thomas. He stated at me like he wanted to devour me. We went out separate ways thank God.
If you ever get attacked by a cuda play the lottery that day, they rarely bite human
I liked this video very much, here is my thumbs up 👍
In the Antilles, fishermen are more afraid of barracuda's than sharks.
Amazing footage and informative also. 👏 Such an agile fish, and those fangs! We have fish which carry ciguatera in Australia, especially out on the reefs. Coral trout, red emperor, red sea bass etc. Best to err on the side of caution with cig.
Well done! I once got ciguatera from a reef fish that is abundant in Puerto Rico known as Jurel. The main symptom was feeling needles all over my body at the moment of coming to a stop after fast paced walking. It lasted a long time, and I learned the lesson.....
Wow...I am a sport fisherman in the Pacific side of Mexico and is the first time I hear about ciguatera. I'll search more info about it. Hope you didn't keep with any bad consecuences from that intoxication. Sounds like a horrible situation.
fantastic video my friend, i am terrified a fish, this was so scary but soo good.
I was chased out of the water by a barracuda on a beach in the Bahamas once. It never charged me, but paced me as I retreated. I'm sure it just wanted me out of its territory. Scared the hell out of me. Great video!
Most of my diving has been in Maldives, where I have swum with a variety of creatures on my dives. The only time I was really wary was when I spotted a lone barracuda just hovering a relatively short distance away. I never took my eyes off it until it lazily swam away.
Like that one in Finding Nemo? Frightening
I once read on a serious Internet site(cant find it anymore) a view years ago that in 2004 two divers die at the maledives after cuda attacks...one attack was at night the other on day...
Maybe 30 plus years back I was out surfing a spot in New Zealand when another surfer had a large chunk of meat taken out of his foot while sitting on his board waiting for a wave. Lots of blood and we initially thought it was a shark but looking back just as likely it was a barracuda. It sure made him squeal.
Squishy Humans
*Nom Nom*
I went snorkeling years ago in the keys. I saw a large barracuda and decided to chase it for a while. That was fine but then it was time for it to chase me. That wasn't as much fun and I was far from the boat. I made it back winded and a bit shaken. I did everything wrong that day and now realize just how young and dumb I had been. I think that barracuda decided to give me a break. Thanks for the video. Disturbingly informative.
Ive always liked barracudas ever since ive watched nemo.

Excellent. I like the deadpan commentary too. I've always loved the barracuda and it's fearsome reputation. They seem the perfect example of the hi-speed fusiform shape, and those big, slightly forward facing predatory eyes... And the slightly uneven spikey teeth. Yes.
"Wait a minute" so you're telling me at the end of the video the fish has its own personal fish car wash, wow!!
Very good video , thanks ❤❤
Wow Barracuda eating an invasive Lion Fish.... they are on our team now!
1982 I’m snorkeling in a remote cove on the island of Tutuila (American Samoa). I had this feeling that something was watching me … I turned and the Great Barracuda was just a few feet away just looking at me. It was huge. Close to six feet long, foot long jaws with inch long teeth. It looked like a torpedo with teeth. I had been spearfishing, but thankfully had not shot any fish. I turned and slowly swam toward the monster and it moved off into the shadows. Huge fish. Had it desired, I would have been a snack.
Классный фильм! Столько нового узнал
All the "pike like" creatures are crazy murderous eating machines of death. I love em.
Excelente documentário. O curioso é que os mergulhadores, mesmo sem fazer qualquer movimento brusco; mesmo assim a barracuda o atacou duas vezes, impressionante
30 years diving in the Keys and no problems with Barracuda. Treat them with respect. You can find large ones hanging around docks where fish are cleaned. I have hand fed those large ones many times, always with respect and a grin.
to translate
I agree with treating both land and water predators with respect but even respect won't stop a rouge and hungry predator from killing a human
I’ve seen some huge Baracuda offshore where I work in the East coast of Trinidad 🇹🇹
Giants in numbers.
Basically an aquatic Honeybadger 😂
9:00 barracuda "what did you say, say it to my face. Yeah, that's what I thought." 😂
Thank you, I enjoyed this video more than I thought I would when I first discovered it. I learnt so much from you about this predatory fish.
They are SOOOOO fun to catch.
Belle présentation d’un poisson dangereux vivant ou mort ! Très instructif !
Such beautiful fish. Love the narration. Fit together perfectly.
Many times I have encountered Barracuda in the Caribbean. Only one time did I have to chase away the predator. There was a tight pack of 3 that were stalking me from 30 meters away. They grew more and more confident and when they were 10 meters away, I turned on them and made aggressive gestures. Preditors aren't interested in something that fights back, so they left.
they just curious. it happened the same to me in italian mediterranean sea (mediterranean barracudas) that were never been dangerous for humans here. They just hang around you and watch, especially when you meet a school.
ya but they wont eat you, you yhould leave thats it^^ no barracuda has killet a humen yet^^
Wrong, many predators will attack when their prey is not calm but moves strange or aggressively.
Legendas em português são bem vindas... Parabéns pelo vídeo 👏👏!
Obrigado.
I was in St. Thomas USVI scuba diving not far from shore and saw a stationary Barracuda about 8 feet away watching me. I swam a bit to see if it was fixed on me and when I moved it followed me. We floated there for a few seconds and I realized that I was wearing a thick gold chain and immediately covered it with my hand. As soon as I did that the fish swam away. I then realized how close I came to being seriously injured or even killed. It could have easily been taken a bite out of my neck (jugular) going for my chain thinking it was a fish. Still gives me chills thinking about it…..it wasn’t my time.
👍👍Great video!!
I am from San Andres, islands in the Colombian Caribbean, we have good reefs, there are many barracudas, we always eat them, but if we know that they can make us sick, we eat smaller ones because the big ones can be toxic... I have seen 2-meter barracudas and I have stayed stunned and very scared, I was more afraid of the barracudas than of the sharks
Barracudas have never met lionfish in nature before humans introduced it into the carribean 30 years ago. And so they are most definitely NOT immune to its venom. But the moment they take that first bite, and gets stung, rage kicks in and they eat the rest of it and gets fatally injured in the ingestion process. Lionfish is now the leading cause of death among barracudas. Surpassing hunting by humans.
👍✔ Thanks for explaining
Yeah right
Excellent narration!
english speaking is good!!!! do more for videos please, i only understand english. thank you. GREAT videos!:)
Great video! Very informative. I would love if you could narrate more of the previous videos in English as well!
Grew up on an island, largest one I saw was approx. 6-7ft. very calm slow moving, I just stayed away. We used to go Barracuda fishing every year, and can't remember anyone getting sick from eating them. They are kind of tasty. Fresh caught and fried. Good video keep them coming! 👍
Which island did you grew up on?
Why not? They eat healthy fish.
You’d even get hurt bad if one of these things even decided to ram you, these barracudas are like bullets in the water.
This guy should be a scary story narrator..
Baracuda are favorite eating fish among the Pacific Islanders. Never heard any case of people getting sick by eating this great fish. But it's always good to know that it can happen. Thank you for a wonderful short documentary.
It depends on which region of earth you live as to whether or not you will get sick
@@ross49452 Actually it doesn't depend on it
large or old fish are contaminated this days, it's better to avoid, as per my knowledge, but i still like to spear and eat one.. 😎
It actually depends on the region of Earth..! Barracuda in tropical coral reefs may have a high percentage of Ciguatera..! And you WILL get sick. It happened to me.
@@thickgirlsneedlove2190 I funno in Australia we have reef species that cannot be eaten on the east coast but can be eaten on the west coast. But it sounds like you know everything so good on you lol
I often eat barracudas in the Bahamas. But eating the once caught on the barrier reef would make you sick. Barracudas caught in shallow waters, near beaches or creek systems, were great to eat.
I’ve hooked many but only pulled in a few. They’re notorious for cutting fishing lines, a steel leader is a must.
Excellent video. Thanks.
Excellent video! I swam near a barracuda once. It kept staring at me, no matter where I swam. I never saw one before. I was frightened. But it didn't harm me.
As a diver this is my favorite fish to hunt… They are smart and cunning adversaries! In Barbados we eat them as they aren’t toxic like the ones off Florida or other places. Cool video 🤙🏾
how come they're not poisonous where you are?
I eat them here in Sierra Leone my beachside near private rural whitesqueeky sand beach. Burehbeach .
You can literally eat them from anywhere just make sure they're not over 2 feet of length only the big ones get siguatera ...
@@willerama because we are the most leeward island in the Caribbean, a lot of the toxins don't get tonus because of currents.
@@rickfish4425 Some places have no ciguetera. I have eaten Barracuda over 2 ft before. In the Southern Caribbean, ciguetera is very very rare, probably even none existant. Have eaten big Mutton snappers (over 10 lbs) as well. People catch a lot of Barracuda 3 to 4 feet and eat without issue in the Southern Caribbean.
Great movie Dude, very good.
Designed by nature to be an underwater torpedo. A masterpiece of evolution.
Это было познавательно. Спасибо.
they are scary and fascinating at the same time ... its impressive how they can accelerate from still ... 60 km/h speed its a lot indeed !!! thank you very much for this nice video
สุดยอดเลยครับ🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Outstanding content.
Great video! Thank you, I had no idea barracuda meat was toxic
Very well done! First video on one of my favorite fish, I learned a lot, thank you!
The narrator's voice takes the show excellent video big up
Nice film and comment
I have eaten barracuda from the coast of Margarita Island in Venezuela.. Never had any side effects as they claimed in the video. In fact, it's been one of the tastiest fish I've ever eaten. Highly recommend it.
Same, eat it in fish and chips in polynesia, very nice.
I’ve known them to poisoning up to death you’ve been lucky and warned
Hola Eduardo, en Margarita no hay ciguatera puedes comerla sin problema, sin embargo en los Roques o la Tortuga , o en islas coralinas, puedes correr el riesgo de envenenarte con ciguatera en especial con grandes ejemplares.
thanks for useful knowledge
Good vidéo. Thank you
As an angler, I know very well how annoying that fish can be, especially when your strike fish is cut off by a barracuda
Barracuda aren’t really that bad, if you ever see one while diving and they turn their side to you it means their sizing you up, best bet is to also turn to your side and show them that you’re larger than it originally thought. One of my buddies wouldn’t return to our boat while diving once because a barracuda was swimming near the boat and I just swam over and shooed it away.
One thing I realized is they mostly go for the tails of the fish. It's interesting because they know that by doing so, they're automatically immovilizing the target, and removing any possibility of a swift escape from them... Truly interesting.
My favorite fish.
Good delicious... 20 years eating barracuda 2 times a week.
great film and information
I once got attacked by a pick handle barracuda in ankle deep water in a estuary whilst spin fishing... Fortunately i saw the beast darting at me and quickly retrieved on dry land with a quick jump... And the cuda wasn't even big, I estimated to have been a little over a 30cm ruler length...
Years ago I met a marine officer in the fla keys. I asked him if barracuda were dangerous for divers. He said the only case he knew of was a diver who Speer gunned one with a weak gun and short rope. The fish tried to get away and bit the hell on the guy as he didn't want to loose the spear gun and let go of it. The only reason he got bit so bad he wouldn't let go of the gun
Ottimo video complimenti. Grazie
Waoo amazing, ikan predator, baracuda, salam kenal dari nelayan Manokwari Papua barat, Indonesia timur..
I grew up in the Caribbean, it’s fine to get the small ones, however avoid the really big ones and the ones that are not fully silver
I got attacked by a Barracuda while Lionfish hunting in Bonaire, I think smelling the blood from the Lionfish made them more aggressive. After feeling the tip of the spear it ran away luckily.
I ate barracuda once, on Malta, and it was the tastiest fish I´ve ever had. This was before I learned about ciguera.
The very first time I ever went deep sea fishing, the very first fish caught was a big king mackerel around 60#.
As soon as the gaff got into the mackerel, the biggest barracuda I’ve ever seen bit it cleanly in half.
Great video!
When I dove in Thailand I was never worried about the bull sharks, tiger sharks or hammerheads, but I was nervous whenever one old, nasty, lonely barracuda came close. When they are old they don’t have the speed anymore and have to go for slow prey. Also, whenever a school of barracudas was near, I got outa there. Also the Titan triggerfish got me worried at times. I’ve only had close calls with barracudas, but have been attacked by triggerfishes. Thankfully they’ve only bit my fins.
Many years ago I went out on an excursion while visiting the Bahamas and I was snorkeling with other guests. The tour boat took us a mile or so off shore and let us swim with little fishes that encircled us and flopped and flipped out of the water. Little did I know that this was one of the worst things you could be in the middle of because predators are drawn to the sound and vibrations of fish in distress. When you are under water you are relaxed by the silence so you have to rely on your vision should a danger appear. Sure enough about 40 feet away appears a large barracuda that slowly circled the group of swimmers and the dancing fish. I didn't think much of it and it was the first time I had seen a barracuda live. Interesting.
I saw a Barracuda that i think was about 6 ' long in the Bahamas
Then, it bit your nose off.
I also was snorkeling with a group in the Bahamas and as I swam back to the boat to climb out of the water I was confronted with an imposing fierce looking 2M Barracuda that seemed to have 1,000 teeth on the ready. He had cut me off from the boat, and I was clearly pissing my shorts. Luckily, a 250 lb lady unknowingly floated between the Cuda and I as she headed to the same boat. As I saw the Cuda observe her huge plump fleshy butt dangling out of the water, I did what any reasonable person would do - I Michael Jackson moonwalked backwards with my flippers and hightailed it to another boat...
Great video love the narration you sound like a French Vincent Price
Here in Greece we catch many barracudas .its a very tasty fish and gives a strong fight to the fisherman
Ótimo vídeo
I think I saw a barracuda near Phuket last year, in shallower water. They're so distinctive, it was quite shy. A really unique looking fish ❤
Barry is a Bahamian delicacy we love it even though the risk is there,grouper is another favorite
Valeu pelo vídeo! 👍
