There are several species swimming around, though the most prevalent in the U.S. Getty Images Barracuda Hauntsīarracudas are one of the most prolific fish on the planet. Barracuda are common in American inshore waters but they can be found offshore, as well. Here are some pointers for turning everyone else’s bycatch into your fish of a lifetime. Just like with muskie fishing, to score a trophy you need to put in your time and hone your approach. I can tell you from years of experience, that isn’t the case. Part of the reason I believe barracuda don’t get enough love is that they’re viewed as easy targets that strike anything moving. There are so many similarities between the two fish-except, of course, that ‘cudas eat a lot more often-it’s always bothered me that when your home waters lock up in winter, more of you don’t flock to the south with your glide baits and Shimano Tranx. I’m especially talking to you, Midwest muskie addicts. So fierce is the fight of a big barracuda that I’ve always been shocked more people don’t travel to target them specifically. They will lie perfectly still, almost in a trance-like state for hours, but when they decide it’s time to eat, the attacking blow is swift and violent. They never take their eyes off you-just ask anyone that’s snorkeled around them. I’m basing my assessment on shear looks and behavior. They’d be pretty far down the list from all the inshore shark species and even stingrays, which jab countless bathers and anglers every year. I’m also not suggesting they are the most dangerous fish. I’m not basing that on attacks, because they are extremely rare. Barracuda are the most terrifying fish in U.S.
