That would be an interesting opponent to fight. You could bash it over and over and not much would happen.

Hmmm... IIRC, jellyfishes, described in Stormwrack, are vermins. So, for a meaner version, "giant" is a more appropriate term instead of "dire".

Wow, Giant 6' across 500lb jellyfish with poison tentacles... I'd hate to see "a smack" of those coming after me...i'd REALY like to see some going after my players however! Wait, I can see it all now! A mad, ocean going druid with a jelly-fish preeocupation sending them to sack a costal town (a costal town that the characters happen to be visiting). Wait! things get really nasty when they start walking out of the water on thier poisonous tentacles and start raining volleys of poisonous nemocysts down on the happless populace! I love it!

in the article, it said the fisheramn were killing them with wire mesh, seems kind of easy, don't you think?

That's mostly because jellyfish are like 98% water, once you take them out of water, they dye. I'm assuming the fishermen used those to get them out.

its still an awfully easy way to kill a monster. It would have a very low CR

What PC is goign to lift a 500 pound mass out of the water while it is stinging them multiple times over. Plus, they have to know that that will kill it, otherwise why wouldn't they fight it in the conventional way?
