Japanese Fishermen Turn Sea Monsters Into Dinner

When local Japanese fisherman found their buisness threatened by sea monsters, in this case 6-foot long 450 pound poisonous jellyfish, they decided to do something about it and make these monsters into food. Though jellyfish is far more popular in China, Japanese people have begun eating them dried and salted as a sort of novelty food. College students have even turned them in to tofu and jellyfish collagen is apparently very beneficial for your skin.

[...] I know Jon previously wrote about the swarms giant jellyfish that invade the seas around Japan, but I found a few incredible photographs I though I’d share. These huge nomura’s jellyfish can grow up to 2m (6 ft 7 in) in diameter and weigh up to 200kgs (440 lbs). In the past year, numbers of these jelly fish have increased one hundred times. To reduce the numbers of these huge jellyfish the government of Japan has formed a committee. One solution: eat them. [...]

Dream Reels

At Fishing Fury, we love shiny things as much as fish do - especially shiny reels. As odd as it may sound, it's not only important that our reels function well, but that they look great too. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder when it comes to reels though. Personally I prefer the appearance of a round baitcast reel, where as Jon prefers low profile. One thing with both agree on though, is that if we had the money, we would have a serious collection of pimped out reels. Here’s a list of the reels we wish we had, but probably never will.
