    Yeh those things are massive. They had a show about them on the discovery channel a while back, they get caught in there nets and at 450 ponds a pop it takes allot to get them out.

    That's ocean karma (not 3reef)." 'Mess w/ the bull, you get the horns," (or 200kilo jellies tearing your nets). That's the best news I've heard in a while. The Japanese slash-and-burn style of fishing just isn't sustainable.
