A shit load of people saw big ass sea serpents in the Great Lakes over the last century. Granted many of the sea serpents people reported back in the 1900s might have been to promote an area lake or bump circulation of newspapers… there seem to be too many to be all hoaxes. [ link to theobservermagazine.substack.com (secure)] Some of the lake monster reports came from reliable sea farers and we’re consistent across decades. Interesting to think what could be lurking in the deep recesses off the Great Lakes! I've seen fish around 20 feet long in the great lakes. Can't catch them though. Someone told me they're sturgeons. I've tried to catch them on a baited hook, they swim on by. Just go for a row in a dinghy on a calm day. Eventually you'll see tails and fins floating out of the water. Anyone else see those? Can confirm what they are? [ link to oodmag.com (secure)] Sturgeon can grow to be quite sizeable and are incredibly long lived, as in more than 100 years. They aren't "caught", they're harvested during a limited spearing season during the winter. Lake Winnebago, a bit west of Lake Michigan, sees a lot of traffic for spearing season. Not sure about any 20 footers, but well over 10-12 feet still happens. They don't have any real predators to deal with once they reach a certain size.
