BARRACUDA! WAAAAAAAAAY NASTY COOOL FISH!
Tnx for the pics from Todd in Kona!
"Aloha Scott! Just wanted to send you a few pics of the Kawele'a (Heller's Barracuda) that I caught today in Kona using one of your Surf Tins.
The fish was 16" long and 3 lbs, which is good-sized for this species of Barracuda.
I changed the Siwash to a smaller buck tail treble in yellow/white to mimic the Oama (White Juvenile Goat fish) that are a favorite of the Kawele'a. Needless to say, it worked. Took another big strike, but that fish came off after a short run."
