    The most parsimonious deduction..
    Sturgeon. Yes, 15 meters. The largest caught is nearly 8 meters, fact is, hooking a 15 meter sturgeon would be akin to snagging on a 10,000lb boulder. No way you'd know you hooked a fish, no more than that fish would notice it was hooked.
    There's a fish in Tomales Bay California where an annual shark and stingray derby was held for several decades. The fish is affectionately known as Louie. The fish has been hooked several times. When hooked sturgeon will often just bury up in the mud and one cannot lift them. We've spent hour upon hour beating on 120lb test lines with an oar trying to get the fish to come up. Sometimes it works most times not.
    Now, Louie seems to not bury up. Louie is slowly mobile while hooked, slowly making his rounds in the bay... All day. Louie has no idea he's hooked to a boat rod on 120lb line, and towards evening he just meanders out towards the Pacific pulling the boat and all aboard. Attempting to turn him is futile.
    Eventually he has to be cut loose, and never seems to care one way or the other.
    One day I happened to pull into a turnout which is 30ft above the bay and as I looked down into the water I saw what appeared to be a forty five ft log or fish lying on the bottom. After studying it for 15 or so minutes, as it hadn't moved, I decided it must be a log.
    I went on to my service call and on the way back home I pulled off at that same spot to look again. The log was gone. Louie is real.

    Richard Freeman is very fond of the giant eunuch eel theory as an explanation for lake monsters. No one has ever caught such an eel. This theory could easily be tested in the lab by artificially neutering male eels, keeping them in large tanks at optimum temperature and feeding them well.

    Fun fact: sturgeon have this fun little habit where, when spooked, they might surface VERY quickly, and possibly even jump clear out of the water before submerging and swimming away.
    Many canoers, kayakers and dingy drivers have not only been capsized but has their boat sunk by fairly normal sized sturgeon.
    You can imagine what an 8 meter one weighing as much as an elephant can do, and if there really is a 15 meter one, forget dingies, it could probably seriously damage a yacht if the motor sound scared it...

      No they can't!
      The British record freshwater eel weighed just 11 lb 2 oz.
      The biggest freshwater eel species in the world is the Giant Mottled Eel (Anguilla marmorata) from the Southern Hemisphere, and the world record for that is 27.70 kg (61 lb 1 oz) which was measured at 200 cm (79 inches).
      The biggest eel on the planet is the European conger (Conger conger), and the record conger was 2.98 m (9.8 feet) long and weighed 158 kg (350 pounds) and lives in saltwater, in the wrong part of the world.
      Whatever this is, it's not an eel.

(The cryptozoologist who declares unreservedly that it ISN'T a Plesiosaur because "they all died out"....that's some crazy thinking right there. First of all, he doesn't know for a fact that they all died out.) Just because we haven't (yet) seen any doesn't mean they've all died out.

Native American legends are filled with accounts of these huge fish. In one account a sturgeon offers its back as a path for the inhabitants of one village to cross a river to escape a fire. That's a big fish.

That the head is 1/3 of the body fits. My father watched one swim around in a river in Vietnam in 1968 for part of the afternoon. He would draw it for us kids at family parties. I sent one of his drawings to the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. The head of the department of paleontology called me to tell me it was a mosasaur. This was in the mid 1990s.

A very large fish can appear as a small dot on the sonar screen if the fish passes quickly through the sonar signal. Size can be guessed at by how thick and bright the target appears on the screen.

He would feed them together with a friend, a military officer. There are many eels in that lake. The big ones are/were probably cannibals. Relative to the head size we estimated they could be 15-20m in length. The lake is small but deep as it's an extinct volcano.

They weren't living embryos so they still haven't figured out what species it develops into as an adult eel. DNA tests ect and they still don't know what it was they found. If I am not mistaken, and I could be, I think it was near Chernobyl and radiation made it abnormally large. The same with earth worms and catfish in that area. Maybe other things as well. Who knows?

    It’s most definitely an eel hundreds of years old, same thing that was found to be the “Loch Ness monster” years ago…
