Just in time for open water swimming, a freakishly large jelly fish has been found!

From the MailOnline: "... It was spotted by a woman at a popular beauty spot on the coast of north Devon. [England]

She then found photographer Peter Stapleton who captured this image. But he is keeping the exact location secret - to avoid spreading panic. ..."

Above is a Rootmouth Jellyfish: Rootmouth Jellyfish average 12-inches in diameter but this 'honker' measures in at four-feet.

Imagine you are in an open water race and you swim into one of these monsters while diving through a wave. The thought of being completely enveloped in a big, electric, blobby HELLO, feels like something you would see in a Japanese monster movie rather than experiencing it in real life. Well in, North Devonshire, YOU CAN!

Or imagine diving through a wave and seeing a competitor trapped inside one of these monsters paralyzed in pain mouthing the words "HELP ME!" as the Jellyfish wraps his transparent 'blobbiness' around the swimmer like a blueseventy swimskin and dives to the bottom.

Ok, so, now it gets worse, one of the comments to the post says this:

"...Not exactly big. The Fortean Times has records of jellyfish the size of houses being washed up. - John Smith, Gillingham Kent, 11/5/2009 16:50 "

I should have saved this quote for Halloween

Jellyfish pull off surprise attack on salmon farm : 100,000 salmon destroyed

From the Times Online: "...more than 100,000 salmon wiped out by jellyfish off the coast of Northern Ireland in a single attack.

Billions of the tiny jellyfish, covering an area of up to ten square miles (27 sq km) and up to 35ft (13.6m) deep, swamped fish-farm cages belonging to Northern Salmon Co and killed more than 100,000 salmon – valued at more than £1 million. ..."

"... The salmon died from their wounds and from the stress of the jellyfish stings. At one stage staff tried to reach the cages in three boats, but such was the density of the jellyfish they struggled to get through and arrived too late to make a difference. ..." [Link]
