30 foot long monster apparently sighted swimming in a canal.

no idea what it is or could be, but interesting especially since i saw the monsterquest episode about a "mysterious" creature around florida as well.

Cool. I hope they don't kill whatever it is if they find it, people have a tendency to do that.

So... they have video of it but did not show the video...

Which leads one to believe that the video discredited the story... if it gave credit to the story they would have posted it.....

Ya know how long that 78 year old man has been lying about the size of the fish he catches? His "30 foot monster" could easily be a just about anything... and probably half as long as he claims...

It's Nessie!!!

There is a link to the (rather unimpressive) video. Looks like a dog paddling in the canal lol. I'd say a manatee is the most likely culprit. Who knows, could be a Largetooth Sawfish or something else uncommon.

It's Florida, it could be one of a million things native or non-native

Hmmm... having seen the video... I'm still not quite convinced... But he did get his 15 minutes of fame so ^5, job well done!!!
