Walter:Sorry, but that's just silly. I know of exactly one person who was bitten by a Barracuda.
I wouldn't discount it out of hand. I also know of only one person who was bitten by a barracuda. I met a DM in Belize who was spearfishing when an excited barracuda grabbed him above the elbow. He now sports a nice V-shaped scar on his upper arm.
However, I've never met ANYONE who has been bitten by a shark -- I only read about it in the newspapers and see it sensationalized on television. I just don't think the press is all over barracuda bites the way they are shark bites.
