    My ex wife used to swim in there from the discription its definitely her.. And if there ever was a monster fish in there she would have eaten it by now poor thing
  • To any future directors who decide to do a re-enactment of a boat incident...OUTBOARD MOTORS DO NOT FLOAT!!!!
  • @ComaTwin
    The theory that perhaps some ancient species officially known to be extinct may have in fact somehow survived over millions of years in this remote lake and some other freshwater or saltwater bodies on the planet, is not a far-fetched possibility.
  • @YusufGinnah
    Those dudes on their kayak looking for a river monster... 'You're gonna need a bigger boat...'
  • The most parsimonious deduction.. Sturgeon. Yes, 15 meters. The largest caught is nearly 8 meters, fact is, hooking a 15 meter sturgeon would be akin to snagging on a 10,000lb boulder. No way you'd know you hooked a fish, no more than that fish would notice it was hooked. There's a fish in Tomales Bay California where an annual shark and stingray derby was held for several decades. The fish is affectionately known as Louie. The fish has been hooked several times. When hooked sturgeon will often just bury up in the mud and one cannot lift them. We've spent hour upon hour beating on 120lb test lines with an oar trying to get the fish to come up. Sometimes it works most times not. Now, Louie seems to not bury up. Louie is slowly mobile while hooked, slowly making his rounds in the bay... All day. Louie has no idea he's hooked to a boat rod on 120lb line, and towards evening he just meanders out towards the Pacific pulling the boat and all aboard. Attempting to turn him is futile. Eventually he has to be cut loose, and never seems to care one way or the other. One day I happened to pull into a turnout which is 30ft above the bay and as I looked down into the water I saw what appeared to be a forty five ft log or fish lying on the bottom. After studying it for 15 or so minutes, as it hadn't moved, I decided it must be a log. I went on to my service call and on the way back home I pulled off at that same spot to look again. The log was gone. Louie is real.

    Maybe, just live and let live and leave the critter be. There are real monsters in this world and they walk on 2 legs and talk like you and me.
  • @beatles7238
    I wonder if they've thought about scanning the water when its frozen, it'd be more safer than going on the water and possibly get sunk by this creature, will definitely be good to hear if any updates on this! πŸ‘πŸ’™
  • What about those aliens in lake Baikal ? The Russian divers were blasted to the surface so fast that several men died from the bends.
  • @brianbloom1799
    I love how some people think they know all the answer,s How about there Being a under ground entrance, Fresh air Cave, There so many way,s it could hide.
  • @John-ym9ht
    Wow! I've never heard this one. I didn't even know there were sturgeon that looked like that or got that big. This should be investigated more. Btw that diver has huge cast iron balls to go in there.
  • @moon-ud8tq
    More like " a devil of a beast" but the motor of a boat flying off or some force circling the other boat seemed like a huge paranormal experience -- wonder if there are new happenings in recent years?
  • @TRUMP20Z4
    the scientists went monster hunting with no secondary engine or even some oars...DUMB I wouldnt be diving in that lake!
  • We're going to search for a monster in the lake let's get the smallest boat possible. Wait we survived I know let's go scuba diving and look for it, this should work!!
  • @klubstompers
    3:26 "The 2 terrified men realized they were being hunted by...", a floating motor. I think a floating motor, would scare me more than the sunken tree they hit.
  • Embryo eels complete with yolk sack were found once at 2 feet long, as opposed to 1/2 inch long of the common eel Anguilla Anguilla. I'd suggest a Greenland Shark though. Who knows what fabulously long subterranean passages exist connecting these deep lakes with the sea?!
  • @kerrykelaher2607
    Jaws : " we're gonna need a bigger boat !" Laugh πŸ˜ƒ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜„ 😁 🀣
  • @C-Here
    I don't understand how their boat was attacked- then they go back into the water with that inflatable flimsy thing!? πŸ˜²πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚
  • @davidj4186
    Richard Freeman is very fond of the giant eunuch eel theory as an explanation for lake monsters. No one has ever caught such an eel. This theory could easily be tested in the lab by artificially neutering male eels, keeping them in large tanks at optimum temperature and feeding them well.
  • @Absolution55
    I expected the cryptozooologist to agree with the dinosaur theory not a giant eel.
