Never caught a barracuda, but they look skinnier than pike. So I'm gonna guess 34 inches and 7 pounds.

WAG 33" 7 pounds

Closest I ever was to barracuda was offshore Gulf of Mexico, had a school living under the oil platform - biggest one looked about 7 ft long and 100 pounds. Could see their teeth from 45 feet up.

5.5 lbs. They eat anything and make Jack fish look picky.

So far FishAb is the closest (he's bigger than he looks)
