Huge School of 'Omilu (One species of Ulua, a.k.a. Caranx melampygus) swimming by the camera on shallow reef. These were around 3 feet long and there must have been a good thirty fish in the school. They were doing lazy circles around me as if they were curious. They were perhaps 3 feet away from the camera. Talk about heart thumping, exciting experiences! That was fun. I had thought I would have to fly to Midway to see this but no, right here in Honolulu. It's nice to see the fish population rebounding after so many years of overfishing.
