Wreck diving off NC, I could easily tell when there was spearfishing in the area within a day or two earlier as soon as I dropped in, cleared my mask and opened my eyes to see a 5 foot barracuda pull up alongside and greet me with that big, beady eye. Apparently for spear fishermen (I’ve never tried it but friends tell me), they shoot one, give it to the barracuda and hope to bag another before he comes back. One for the cuda, one for the bag... one for the cuda, one for the bag...
Nasty looking critters. First time, I nearly crapped in my wetsuit...
“One for the cuda, one for the bag... one for the cuda, one for the bag”
That sounds like a dangerous game right there. I’ll stick to the hook and line surf fishing technique. :^) Stay safe out there my friend.
