    Re: Herrington Monster

    The only thing I know of that lives in fresh water and grows that big is a sturgeon, but A) I seriously doubt there are any sturgeon in Herrington Lake, and B) I've never heard of them swimming on the surface like that.

    I am a firm believer that ANYTHING is possible. I'm not saying that there is or isn't a Herrington Monster, but I believe it's possible.

    Re: Herrington Monster

    I guess I should clarify. If he says he saw it, I believe him. And when I said I'd never heard of sturgeon surfacing... well, a Google search tells me I was wrong, they do, just not very often. Herrington was impounded almost 80 years ago, wasn't it? Time enough for a sturgeon to grow pretty **** big. What do you think, Cumberlandguy, is that a possibility?

    Re: Herrington Monster

    That was our first thought as well, but it was just too big. We were in a 17 ft boat and the part that we could see was longer than the boat. I have never seen anything like it.

    Re: Herrington Monster

    yeah we've seen some big gar as well. I would lean toward the sturgeon side except the **** thing swam funny. I realized that when I started this thread that I would get some ridicule, but we definitely saw something that day that just doesn't belong there and thanks to the guys who have admitted seeing something weird there as well.
