Here's a clip of the Stoney Cove Moster...

On the opening shot, take a look in the bottom right hand corner (just for the first few secs.) ... you can just see a shoal of Roach, now look up to the sub just under the fin...

My apologies for some of the shoddy camera work, for some of it I was holding the camera with one hand facing back towards me...

I'll eventually get the film of my buddy who was filming me filming him... will make a nice Clip I think....
Enjoy...

for those that post elsewhere... apologies for the repeats... just giving the widest possible audience a chance to ssee

My apologies for some of the shoddy camera work, for some of it I was holding the camera with one hand facing back towards me... No apology required Paul! Brilliant clip, lovely bit of film. I've never met that one in Stoney, although I have met it's brother of a very similar size who lives in Gildenpit.

Thanks Paul, moved it over here. The Gildy one lives in the sunken forest, I've seen him there a couple of times. I think his name is "Sir", you'll know why if you meet the b*gger coz he's a bit big as well :)

Nice pictures Paul.
We have one just as big in a local lake (Ellerton Park). For anyone who knows Ellerton it can be found over by the caravan. Scared the Cr*p out of me the first time I saw it, as the viz was very bad that day (about 1m). Will try and get a picture of it the next time Im in there.

Ten out of ten - this has got to be a hot contender for:-

It is a beast!

I used to fishing for Pike when I was younger - they were always good for a tussle. I should point out that I always put them back.

Anyone think a Pike has the look of a Coelacanth about it or is it just me?
