Very interesting. Long ago I read an account of a lake or river that flooded in 1500's England, and an enormous eel became stranded on the land. It was reported to be 30 feet long, and did a great job intimidating anyone that approached it.
My grandfather founded the biology department at Hobart and William Smith and a friend of my mother’s claimed that she and another student were out in the canoe when they heard something snorting and gurgling behind them. She turned, expecting to see a deer trying to get to shore but saw a large snake like head a couple feet above the water on a thick neck. They got to shore in a hurry. I knew well and she was an honest upright person. I was once at a gathering of some of my mom’s college friends and another lady who had been there said she saw a really large swell in the water behind their canoe. A friend was once in the Naples library going through 19 the century newspapers and saw a story about a “sea monster” in Canandaigua Lake. Stories persist!
Do some research for a "bat-like" flying creature that certain of my classmates said they saw over the lake. I believe there was a drawing of it in one of the local papers. This was around 1970-1972. I graduated in 1972 from WGHS. -Dan Franklin
There are so many bodies of fresh water in the northerly latitudes that have reports of large creatures that have yet to be identified!! Loch Ness is on a very similar latitude as the Canadian lake's with lake creatures being reported within! It's not a coincidence I don't believe!!
I enjoyed your video very interesting. I would like to correct you about an eel, they belong to the fish family they are not snakes which is a reptile.
I actually have seen eels in the lake but no bigger than two to three and half feet as a teen if it were alive today I could see it being twenty or more ft.!!! GaryBailey
Thank you for sharing this info.

Description is perfect for giant sturgeon

The serpent lives in the basement of Willard 🐍
Big sturgeon people. I saw it once with a professor on board my boat
