just another coyote with mange.
Don’t know. Here’s the video to that pic. If you’ve never seen it..

It’s certainly strange.
It’s no Android, that’s for sure.

BTW I've been in tons of lakes ( Champlain, NY Pontchartrain, LA, and Isabella Ca, just to name a few. I've also been in the Atlantic, Pacific, Red and Philippine Seas, not to mention the Med and would say that no self respecting monster would live in Chaplain as it's too embarrassing.
Amazes me that that they got a picture of sunshine over the lake, something I never saw there. It's worse than Seattle. We only had two seasons, Winter and September.
“It’s a whole flock of hugh manatees!”
If you look,carefully,in a mirror, you can see Obama’s BC.
But you have to read Kenyan.
And you have to start it at the beginning of some movie.
My family has lived on Lake Champlain since 1807. So we have records of family members seeing Champ. I, my sister and my mother saw it in 1950 just south of the Fort Ti Ferry at then Scuderi`s Point.
My sister and I were clamming and there were drop-offs there. So we could walk out 25- 50 feet and it would be shallow, but then dropped off suddenly to 10-20 feet. We were following the clam trails on the clear bottom in a foot of water or so and then we would reach down at the end of the clam trail and grab the clam.
I happened to look up and saw a black head with 2 humps out of the water, coming around the point. It stopped there and look at me may be not even 50 feet away. It had a black head, but oblong sideways, like a flattened ellipsoid, with 2 little black eyes but no ears. Its head was out of the water about 4 feet or so.
I estimated it musta been 30-50 feet long coz it had come out from behind the point and I knew how long the point was. I then yelled to my mother who was on the shore, “Ma! Look at that big snake!”
She ran quickly out into the water and grabbed me and put us both in the car and sped off.
When I asked her about that sighting years later, she said, “Oh that thing.!” In 1990`s my nephew saw it break thru the ice in wintertime as his house was on the lake but up 50 feet high on the bluff south of Fort Ti. Lotsa locals have seen it just under the water around the fort as do the big northern pikes lay there with their mouths open waiting for trout and salmon to come down the La Chute River and other small brooks emptying near the fort but they don`t tell visitors nothin`. I even heard about stories for 50 years from Bulwagga Bay. A 1928 newspaper article says that Champy`s underwater cave is on the Vermont side of the Lake opposite Bulwagga Bay.
I have tried but I cannot relate this to moochelle’s bootie at all.
Is it on the dole yet?
That made me laugh out loud! Thx.
Good to see our old friend Lootie has not been forgotten.
All right, call me credulous but you totally have my attention with your story. Are you serious or just fooling around on Saturday night? If you’re serious, have you ever tried to relate what you saw to anything historical? (dinosaurs etc.) Or from your adult viewpoint, what do you think the thing that you saw *was*?
(P.S. And why haven’t you already called George Noory with this??? ;o)
Looks like a tarpon rolling over at the surface.
He’s wasting his time. The intrepid marionettes of “Stingray” solved the mystery back in th 60’s. Here’s the proof:

I found this in the Internet so I know it’s true.
p.s. The missus and I really were in Scotland in early June of this year traveling with her clan, and we really did motor past Loch Ness on the way to Fort William. However, the story about taking a ride on Nessie's back might not be true. She didn't give us a ride on her back. She only craned her neck at us and said Och Aye!!
So much for Arthur C. (Graeme Garden) Clarke’s explanation starting at 1:40 or so...

Oh I was 8 years old at the time of the incident - My sister was 10 but she never wants me to talk about it coz it evidently is traumatic memory for her because she was always protective of me but on this occasion she was too far away behind me to protect me. So she is embarrassed.
But about 2 years later 1952 at Sunday Mass I heard on of the Altar boys from Port Henry telling a story of a man had seen Champ [ we didn`t call him that = “Champ” is a nomen tagged on about 30 year later in 1980`s by people from outside the area.]
The guy at Bulawagga bar was excited and everyone called him drunk when he saw it from the bar window. This bar is raised up above the lake and set back against the mountain so there is a good panoramic view of the bay. But it was the first report I heard from Bulwagga Bay. But strangely it did not revive my memory of my 1950 sighting. Only when I was in California 40 years later and the picture of Champ sent in by a woman north of here 40 miles did my memory return and I said to myself- : “Hey! I remember now! I saw something too when I was a kid- So I called up my mother and told her about my memory recall coming back- All she has ever said about the incident is “Oh! That Thing!” My sister never wants to discuss it with me. But my nephews and my brother all have seen it so they are always willing to talk about sightings to me. I think I did call it in a long time ago to Coast to Coast, early 2000`’s maybe. We also had 2 sheriff and state trooper sightings of a creature on a golf course in Whitehall here a few years back. Also, my brother who drives a lot sees things on the roads here at night - he doesn`t know what they are. There was one report here in local newspapers 1880`s of a “hairy wild man” up in the high mountains here. But they think it was just an old hermit. Usually I hike to the top of Mt. Defiance and use hi-zoom binoculars and camera to scan the lake from north of Whitehall to 3 mile point around Fort Ticonderoga- sometimes we see things but usually just waves, coz now there is so much small boat traffic there it spoils anything happening.
But in 1950`s we fished by boat just a mile south of the fort and we could see schools of fish jumping out of the water and going south as if something was chasing them- but who knows?
In those days there was hardly any pleasure craft on that part of the lake . If I ask some of the local fishermen if they had ever seen Champ, they will tell me straight but they will not relate it to any outsider - That`s the way it is.
I checked the geology of the region and it appears that Lake Champlain and Lake George were passably connected and flowed south to the Hudson River from the St. Lawrence River but the 3 glacial moraine occurrences blocked the southern end of Lake George and made only a 300 foot drop impassable trickle from the latter north to Lake Champlain. There is a reported recent sighting on the St. Lawrence on the Akwesasne Reservation in Darren Bonaparte`s book about Mohawk stories etc.

Very interesting! I don’t think that sturgeons stick their heads out of the water and look around! Quite an experience for you!
The incident with me, and those with me, happened between North Hero and the peninsula stretching down from Alburg. I read that sturgeons can swim lazily, but would it be enough to leave a wake against an oncoming fetch current?
