Giant Jellyfish Infestation

It was a moderatly stormy day on the beach...
This is the same beach that I found the body on... the waves had been really high and I had hopes of finding a float... and I needed to face my dead body beach issues and go back to prove to myself that there would not be one this time... so I went... Kona and I
Kona wore here blue bandanna... its her favorite one... she thinks she looks sexy in blue... I agree... this is a float... but its a lame plastic one... I found tons of the plastic ones... even a cool lime green one that turned out to be pretty heavy and I didn't want to carry it 6 miles back the the car...

anyways... I didn't find any floats but I did find dead bodys... dead giant jellyfish bodies!!!! the same giant jellyfish that canceled my salmon catch... I must have passed hundreds of them on my walk...
and i found a fridge... I did carry that back to the car... not
I also found a couple of those squid lights that I have mentioned before... they have these big lights on the squid boats to attract the squid at night... this is actually a kinda small one... and they wash up intact... I cant even take a light bulb out of the socket intact...
and here is a giant jellyfish... it is HUGE!!!!
They were bigger then Kona... yes I can now see how an infestation of these would break the salmon nets... CRAZY

Ikkkkkk! That is why I don't like going into the ocean. Things like that are floating around!
