I was fishing on my lunch break earlier today, and i caught a little fish. Or at least i think it was a fish. It was only about 6 inches long, it had brown and white spot patterns on it's back, and along the sides too. It had a nose that came to a point, much like a 'cuda. And this thing had a mouth FULL of teeth. And my first thought is that it was indeed a barracuda, maybe just a juvenile?  Have any of you guys heard of anything like this?

It was probably a Gar. And where were you fishing?Did it look like this? Or did it have the same shape as that fish? If it had the same shape as that it was a gar.

I have seen Gar in the Carrabelle river which is Brackish water. Gar will go in brackish water.

No, it wasn't a Gar. I've seen those before, and I know this wasn't a gar. It could be a lizard fish, but i've never seen one before so I wouldn't be able to compare. And I am fishing in the Panhandle in the Chotawhatchee Bay. And I doubt it matters, but I was using a Rapala Subwalk 9.

From your description, I'd bet $100 it's a lizard fish.  We catch them in the bay in Orange Beach, AL all the time. See image below.

It must be a lizardfish, i have caught many of them, and they are usually about 6 inches long. This is what it looks like.
