They are fun to catch and the small cudas are good to
eat. Many locals refer to this fish as a "reef pimp". It is a
common occurrence to bring up nothing but the head of
a snapper or other fish that a cuda has taken a bite out
of. I have swam through schools of hundreds of these
fish and they stay there distance, but it is suggested not
to wear shiny jewelry in the water because of them.
that this was about a ten pound Mutton Snapper
before a barracuda ate the second half of his body.
