Kurt-you are a very BRAVE man! AND excellent with that camera. What kind is it? I have an olympus 770sw digital/water and hope to do some shooting from my kayak while there in aug. Also how do you keep it so still as in your other kayak videos? :dunno: Keep shooting, you're a natural!

Thanks everyone! :love:

You must speak jellyfishish. They seemed to be performing for the camera. Thanks for taking one for the team in the making of this video!:clap:

Oh yeah- where's the part where you fell into the water?

That's on the outtakes video. :lol:

Very nice. How big in diameter were some of these jellies? :shock:

They're what we call cannonballs. Most are little bigger than a big fist. Some have tentacles which are several feet.

Are the fishys' trapped in the jelly? All I can say is National Geographic!:clap:

The fish are immune to the sting. The jellies offer protexction from predators that are not immune. Like us. :D

Olympus 1030 - I usually have it resting on something.

Someone told me tonight that there is a market for cannonball jellies in Japan and that some of our local fisherman have taken to the trade.

Scroll down to Culinary uses. Apparently they pickle it. :blink:

Cool footage, is the camera water proof or do you put it in a ziplock?

I had the experience of being fed it on a biz trip to China. It was crunchy, I asked what it was...shouldn't have. Great video Kurt!!
