Today's short photo essay should provide at least some idea of the magnitude of Clipperton atoll's potential when it comes to fishing and more. One look at these photos raises the obvious question: where else in the world does such incredible mayhem regularly occur? These photos were taken and shared by Australian angler James Moran who was as amazed as everyone else on board by the spectacle alone; the fishing that followed our arrival at such spots was anything but surprising.

In the shots of the "foamers" themselves one can't help by pick out the sharks right in the mix that almost inevitably arrive for the party wherever it erupts. Amazingly, even though there seem to be hundreds of "grinners" in the water, we tangle with very few in these circumstances. The tuna are so fired up and aggressive that the sharks don't hardly stand a chance. Enjoy and marvel at today's images and look for more to come.
