LINK TO DAN'S ORIGINAL VIDEO "Big fish in Missouri River" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8DCd-o6Ff4 The big story this week is a video that alleges to show a huge river monster in the Missouri River! But is this video fact? Or is it faked. We’ll find out. It's called Big Fish in Missouri River. The video was first sent in by Patrick Boddie and Darryl Vaughan3. It shows a large mysterious wake in the river - indicating something huge is swimming just beneath the surface. But is this really a big river monster on the prowl? Or are we just looking at another big fat river fake. Let’s jump in and see what we can find out. Taking a closer look at the video, we see that is was first published in November 2014. The uploader, Toni braungardt didn’t say much about it in the description box other than it is a “really big fish of some kind.” During the 4 minutes and 19 seconds, we travel with what sounds like two men inside the boat as they track the mysterious creature. At various points, they get excited when they catch a glimpse of it’s head. Prom, from my Chewy Piranha research group checked into what actually lives in the Missouri River for us… And guess what? Prom discovered this area is known for it giant size Paddlefish that some people call Spoonbills… And this might well be what we are looking at. But on the other hand, we don’t actually see the creature in the video. Dan Braungardt, the man who actually recorded the video, talked to me by telephone. Dan: "It’s real… we followed it for a couple of miles… It acted like it wanted to play… we’d follow it a half mile up stream shut the motor off and it would come back." Dan said the river monster creature was longer than his boat and he did see parts of it’s body. “Back of the wake, you could see his fins moving…” After talking to Dan, I got in touch with the Missouri Department of Conservation to see if they were aware of the video. Spokesman, Lucas Bond confirmed it had been seen by their fisheries department and thanks to information provided by them and Dan Braungarht, we were able to get this, the official answer… Watch the video to find out what the answer is!
