A monster hunter who has spent 26 years searching for the Loch Ness Monster claims to have taken the "best picture ever" of the beast, after dedicating 60 hours a week to his quest.
Nessie hunter George Edwards waited 26 years for this moment - and he now believes he has the best picture ever taken of the Loch Ness monster.
He spends his life on the loch - around 60 hours a week - taking tourists out on his boat Nessie Hunter IV, and has led numerous Nessie hunts over the years.
But this image is the one that's convinced him that there really is a monster or monsters - out there. It shows a mysterious dark hump moving in the water towards Urquhart Castle.
"I was just about to return to Temple Pier (in Drumnadrochit) and I went to the back of the boat which was facing the pier and that's when I saw it," said 60-year-old Mr Edwards, a lifelong believer in the monster. "It was slowly moving up the loch towards Urquhart Castle and it was a dark grey colour. It was quite a fair way from the boat, probably about half a mile away but it's difficult to tell in water."

probably a sturgeon.
Looks like a seal.
too much scotch, that’s a turd
Oops... looks like the remains have surfaced.
He got “a” picure? This guy has been hunting this thing for a quarter century and all he got is one single solitary picture? He never bought a high res state of the art video camera or a digital SLR with the ability to snap off 10 pics a second?
What was he using, his iphone?
Sheeez.
Carp was my first thought, too..
Post of the day winner!
It’s not Nessie: it’s Nestle — Nestle’s dog Farfel.

And if you look closely, you’ll see he’s carrying Obama’s Sealed Records in his mouth. . . . (grin)
UFO...Unidentified Floating Object
Perspective when compared to the ripples on the water means it’s a small object. The fact that there are no significant wakes behind it makes me think it’s stationary. That it was a lone photo from a guy who makes his living on the so-called monster increases my skepticism.
Bottom line: nothing looks legit about it. I think he faked it with an object he put in the water and then photographed. Probably about 6 to 8 feet in total length.
Swamp gas reflecting off the shadow of Venus!!!
I wonder if that guy knows how famous he is:)
Years ago, on Lake Champlain, on a very windy day with a choppy fetch coming from the south, we could see that “something” swimming into the fetch — and leaving its own wake. It was very obvious to all the campers on that part of the lake. You couldn’t see an actual fish, but even in that choppy water there was something making that wake. When a boat went out to see what it was, whatever it was must have dove down, and altho it was only about 30 feet there, whatever it was couldn’t be seen. And — the wake stopped. Sturgeon?
No, this is actually a photo of the next iPhone.
I’ve always thought that the odds would favor at least a few decent photos, but it seems like anyone who discovers a monster owns a $3.00 camera he bought at Goodwill.
