As we slowly puttered north along the Cortez today, our small tin boat was suddenly engulfed by a tornado. An underwater tornado. Of golden
trevally (correct my id if wrong). They moved in unison in a counterclockwise motion, in a cylinder-shaped mass from the bottom to nearly on the
surface. Spawning behavior from what I understand. We put the rods away and just watched them for about 20 minutes.
One of the coolest things I've seen in Baja to date.
Speaking of trevally tornados, check this out:

Wow, you were lucky. My book calls them Yellow Jacks or Golden Jacks. The mouth pops straight out quite a ways when they feed. No teeth. They are so
beautiful to see when boating, diving, snorkeling that I cringe when I see one caught for food. Stunning colors.

Sometimes we fisherman forget that we love and respect the fish; your post reminded me of that.....
