I think they caught a barracuda.

Barracuda for sure.

They look a lot like Wahoo but the dorsal fins are different and Wahoo get much bigger.

Barracuda. I have speared barracuda 50 miles south of there, at Tulum Mexico and they were good on the grill.

Yeah, Barracuda. 👍
Used to spearfish, in the Mangrove canals of the Everglades Keys. Several up close and personal encounters. Good times. 😁

I'm not a saltwater guy, but I think I read somewhere that the Atlantic/Caribbean barracuda was toxic to eat, but the Pacific one was fine. Due to the one eating fish that consumed some toxic algae and passed it along to the predator. Or it was the other way around. But one of 'em wasn't considered safe to eat.

Only one way to know for sure. Fire up the grill!

Looked it up. Shoulda done so first. It may not have anything to do with Atlantic or Pacific Barracuda, but more to do with size. Even then, it depends entirely on what they've been eating.
Quote: Barracuda are not naturally born with any poison or toxic defense mechanism in them. The stories of barracuda poisoning are usually Ciguatera poisoning which is a potentially dangerous form of food poisoning, caused by consumption of certain tropical reef fish particularly Barracuda.
The poison is produced by a certain variety of a tiny marine organism known as a Dinoflagellates which are tiny unicellular marine plankton which typically grow on marine algae, sea grass and sea weed and are consumed by smaller herbivorous reef fish when they feed on the algae and grass. These fish are in turn eaten by larger carnivorous fish where the Ciguatoxin builds up in a process known as bioaccumulation. This toxin is perfectly harmless for fish, but can be harmful to humans that consume the fish.
Once again though it’s not necessary that all Barracuda have Ciguatoxin in them and the Bioaccumulation process may not have reached a stage where the fish can cause poisoning. However it is always safe to avoid eating large barracuda as there is no way to test for toxicity in the fish easily.

Don't believe they are very good eating🙄

They are actually good eating (at least the ones I have eaten) but I wouldn't ever eat a large one because of the risk of getting sick. They do get pretty big though, I've seen them go nearly five feet long although most are around 3 - 3.5 feet.
They sure do have a mouth full of teeth, they're like a salt water Pike.

It's a kissing gourami, give it a buss.

The ones we speared there on the Mexican coast were 3 feet long. They were good to eat and we didn't get sick.
But, one time my 2 friends and I from Georgia were up in Canada camped at a roadside park. Marc caught a big fish in the lake, we didn't know what it was. A Canadian guy with his son was fishing nearby. He saw our fish, he said "Oh, you boys got a snake. They're no good, we Canadians don't eat that trash."
Turned out it was a Northern Pike. Not knowing any better, we cleaned that fish and fried it in the pan over the camp fire, it tasted good to us.

Caught some monster Pike in Canada (and a lot of them), sure didn't taste like trash. We used to joke that we would have to keep some kind of cover over the tackle box otherwise we couldn't keep the pike from jumping into the boat. 😉
The only problem is the amount of it that you eat, as most Pike up there contain a fair amount of mercury.

Pike are very good to eat. The only negative I find is they are very boney.
I like to pickle Pike. The bones soften up in the brine to where they just melt in your mouth.
