So you were watching it live when this thing came up? I ask because at this point it is a pre recorded video that has this same fish. But it only goes to 2:38.

YEP....it's not live at the moment. I don't know if it was live when I recorded it,but it's not now ...even though it says live ( having flashback to the BP thing)....oh well....no matter, it's still one ugly beast!

OK....I think it's case closed. It's either a sturgeon (which I now think it is after seeing those pics above, and the fact that it's a cam where people look for sturgeon)....or a bull head catfish....I just thought it didn't look like a stugeon because the face looked flat. But after seeing those series of pics above showing the white area which looks like a mouth, I'll say it's just one ugly sturgeon.......I think
Just so everyone knows, I didn't think it was some mythylogical beast....I knew it was some type of regular fish, I just posted in this forum because I didn't know where else to post it.....fragile earth didn't seem right for it.

Since it's unknown and new,why doesnt the discoverer name it.

My Mother in law learned to swim.

just looks like a catfish to me too lol
