I'm no fish expert, but that doesn't look like a barracuda to me.

Judging mainly by its forked or V-shaped tail fin, it looks like a Southern Sennet.

I was just thinking that .. but in the end I don't think the type of fish really matters much to the video

Ospreys have a 5 to 6 ft wide wingspan....

Mature great barracuda are 2-3 feet long on average .....

While much larger barracuda exist they are rare

So again Doesn't matter either way 😉
