Man says 30-foot 'monster' lurking in canals of Madeira Beach

There's something strange and big swimming in the canals of Madeira Beach along the Pinellas County coast. Those who have seen it say it's no fish and think it could be a sea serpent.

Russ Sittlow, 78, has seen it. He calls the creature "Normandy Nessie" because he lives on Normandy Road.

The retired engineer said he first saw "Nessie" in April.

"His head come up out of the water, and then he rolled up in a double roll behind him and he was long he was huge," he said of that first sighting.

It seems he has a GIANT ANACONDA visiting.

To use the punch line from a very old joke:

“Giant Anaconda my ass!”

“Yowwwwwwwww!”

Maybe Manny Puig can catch it. He likes to swim in the canals and swamps of Florida with the gators and snakes etc.

I AM the wife and using the roast would be OK with me. If this thing lived in the canal near my house, along with trying to catch it myself, I’d put a bounty on it and run ads in the paper.

Could easily be one of those boas or pythons that morons keep setting free in Florida when they get too big to play with around the house and kids.

Well, folks often see Nessie after polishing off the first few glasses of single malt.
