Fishing success

After having spent a lot of time with his fishing rod, Mark used a new technique of trawling a lure as we left Palomino for Vieques. And he was successful!!! If size matters, he was very successful (according to Mark, size does matter).
He had to work quite hard to get the fish out of the water since it was a quite a large one. It measured to one meter (40 inches). Now the question was what kind of fish was it? Could we eat it? Would it taste good if we ate it?

After we arrived to Isabel Segunda we took the dingy to go on land and showed the fish to some fishermen. After some impressed sounds when they saw the size, they confirmed our suspicion that it was a Barracuda. Large Barracudas are poisonous and really should not be eaten. Bummer for Mark.
