Lake Monster Activity, page 1

With the excitement of Bigfoot being "captured", it seems that we missed some other activities.

For some reason the Lake Monsters are stirring in the waters.
1.
11 July (old news?) two fishermen spotted and video taped something on Lake Champlain... It's uncertain of what it is, but many guess it's Champ...

Burlington Free Press Article

No Picture to show us?

2.
A Quebec innkeeper claims to have picture proof that the legendary monster of Lake Massawippi exists. This monster is called "Whippy" with pics taken by some tourist.
The Canadian CTV Article

One of the Pictures:



3.
Not forgetting the two sightings of the Flathead Lake monster in Big Arm Bay (Sunny Shores Resort) end of July 2005.
Read this VERY interesting article: Big Fork Eagle Article

Again... Nothing conclusive...



Again it's interesting just how much Lake Monster (paranormal?) activity there has been in the past couple of weeks, and even more so that more and more of these "monsters" are being described as serpents...

[edit on 23-8-2005 by Gemwolf]

IMO, this is definitely not a turtle.

After blowing the pic up to 400% and enhancing the lighting, focus, etc. . . some rather interesting details become apparent.

Link 1 is simply 400% original size:
Link 1

Link 2 with lighting enhancement:
Link 2

Link 3 with lighting enhancement and focus:
Link 3

2 and 3 seem to show upper and lower jaw/mouth/etc. as there is a clear separation . . . not unlike that of a porpoise/dolphin-like creature.

2 and 3 also seem to show a clearly defined [eye].

These are all the same image, as it was the only one posted with the article.

Would love to have the rest.

No clue as to Nessie, Champ, etc. . . but this is definitely one of the better photos regarding the Lake-Creature phenomena.

Any thoughts!?

Any chance this might be a huge Musky?Kind of hard to tell the actual size of it with no background.I don't have a scanner,but I looked at some pictures in some sportsmans mags and the snout is a bit similar from what I can see.

I can see how you can compare this to a Musky. Good spot!

This is the Musky:




This is what a giant Musky would look like with its "head up" (Out of the water obviously... LoL! - And imagine its mouth closed... )




> A Musky surfacing <

Compared to 12m8keall2c's > Enhanced Pic < ....

Hmmm... The question is whether the lake is Muskies' natural habitat, and whether they would survive there if not...

Maybe Jono have some more info on this?

Gemwolf...

Here are the species that have been identified in Lake Massawippi, they were taken from the following site:

(www.ilec.or.jp...)

Perca flavescens, Ambloplites rupestris, Catostomus commersoni, C. catostomus, Notemigonus crysolencas, Coregonus carinatum, Moxostoma carinatum, Micropterus dolomieui, Lepomis gibbosus, Ictaleurus nebulosus, Moxostoma anisurum, Salmo trutta*2, Salvelinus namaycush*2, Esox lucius*2.
*1 In order of relative abundance. *2 Economically important.



The Esox lucius is a member of the Muskellunge family...So yes, musky's are indeed found in the lake. Furthermore, as per my claim that this "creature" may have been eating ducks the morning of the sighting, here is what I found regarding musky's:

"In Europe, a 145-pounder was taken in 1862 but a
record rod-and-reel catch in the U.S. is a 46-pounder taken in New
York. In parts of Canada, because they gobble so many wild ducklings,
bounties are paid for pike." (www.newton.dep.anl.gov...)

I'm actually fairly covinced now that this is simply a massive pike (member of the musky family). If they found a 145 pounder in Europe, then it is certainly possible that an even larger one exists in Lake Massawippi. What do you guys think??


or

I just wanted to post that I performed an enhancement on the picture and came up with almost the exact same results as 12m8keall2c above.

I have also done some screen caps from the video of the page that ran the news story.

You can see them on my blog at:

I have been trying to get some higher-res pictures to use, but have not been able to secure them from the news or the innkeeper.

Anyway, have a look.

Cool Blog!!!

It seems like this picture supports the "Musky Theory"...?



(^This picture appears along with some others on Kraken's Blogspot at Crypto-Blog)

Too bad there's nothing in the pictures to indicate size!?

Is this a creature? Or a thing?
