Navi's advice
It seems that the narrow part is its weak point... You need a particular item to destroy it!

In the official guides
Tentacles in Jabu-Jabu's Belly that reach down from holes in the ceiling. Target them and hit with the Boomerang while moving.

Hit its base with the boomerang.

Its weak spot is the thin part; lock on and throw the Boomerang there, and after a few hits it bursts. Destroying every tentacle makes the thick electric strands vanish.
