Growing up, we had a relative that had a barracuda mounted and my Dad always talked about it. He used to watch every fishing show @ barracuda and was crazy about them. His dream was to get one. Despite fishing his entire life, he had never fished with a guide. While I was living in CA, I set up a trip for he and I to go out on the flats for barracuda in Key West. I flew to FL and we drove, down to the keys. stayed overnight and met the guide at 6am. For the next 4-6 hours we slammed massive barracuda on topwater and tubes all in water from 6' to 3 feet deep. It was mid-70s and no breeze. We laughed our asses off. The guide said to my Dad and I that we can take a break or eat whenever we wanted, we fished the entire time, only stopping to drink and move locations. Definitely the best time I ever had fishing.
