Look at the side of the river and make a reference point for where they are. At both the start of the video and the end of the video, you can see on the right bank that they hardly move at all, and instead it's the current pushing the boat backwards that makes the object 'move past' the boat, and without realising that they've been pushed back, they stick on the motor and go past it again to only be pushed back again when they turn the motor off to let it 'catch up'. To answer the bobbing and weaving thing, currents can make loose underwater objects do that. I don't think anyone could place a bet on exactly what it is, but I'm guessing it's some object that got snagged on something like a rock or some weird plant as it flowed downriver.
It’s a buoy or something attached to the bottom, it’s stationary and the river current is pushing the boat back giving the illusion that it’s traveling.notice how it’s always going faster when the engine dies down or off . You’ve been duped
this water is smooth as glass. no current unless they're letting water out the dam, and even then there's no strong current like what this looks like unless you're too close to the dam lol
Really nice, low budget special effects. Log or something stuck underwater in the fast-moving current. Pull your boat up to it, shut the engine off, allow the boat to drift backward with the current making it appear that "the fish" is moving away. Start the engine pull back up to the sunken log, repeat. Nice job, fooled a lot of people. However, you need only notice that the shoreline never changes. With the speed they appear to be going you would think at some point they would eventually pass that spot of trees on the right bank.
WOW! Watching in August 2023. That's incredible, love how you guys weren't afraid to get close and keep up with it to show everyone exactly what you were seeing, Awesome footage guy's!
Pallid sturgeon are known to swim near the surface and they can get pretty big. Paddle fish,also called Spoon Bill here in Missouri do the same at times.
I witnessed almost that exact occurence. I was bowfishing in the backwaters where the missispi overflowed it's banks. I have to say that I was awestruck and didn't even try to shoot. I would have a loved to see what it was!
TarponTango They are turning off the engine and the river is pulling them backward but keeping the camera focused on the same shot making it look live its moving upstream. then they turn the boat on and move closer to the buoy and then turn the engine back off and float away from it.
through many years fishing the same river I can tell you Iv seen some massive fish. I think it looks like a very old sturgeon or indeed a bullshark Iv seen three myself and it's a nice spook
It's a river bouy for the barges, when the river goes up it will do that if you look to the right you'll see the big yellow tree, every time they stop the boat, it goes downstream with the current.
Curtis Jacobson I believe your right, after your comment I started watching the shoreline, and it’s their boat floating backwards and whatever it is doesn’t move forward.
Curtis Jacobson I just watched it again it is a buoy… They start the motor up they roll up to it and then they stop the motor and float back and it gives the appearance that it’s moving forward in the water when in reality it’s the boat floating backwards. If you watch the tree line you’ll keep seeing the same tree over and over again.
That's exactly what it is. @1:10 and @2:18, they are in the exact same spot in relation to the bank. I'm quite sure it's a red nun buoy since the main channel of the river is left of them (stay left of red going upstream). These guys are extremely lucky because when those things do break the surface they a have a real tendency to thrash around and they are extremely dangerous (1000lb thrashing steel drum).
I'm sorry for my previous post! I watched the original video very closely and the truth is that those people are playing with the river's current. If you watch closely, you can see and hear that the guy turns off the engine: that's when the so-called monster starts keeping out with them. The river current starts pulling the boat back and you can see the "monster" going faster. So far so good: the guy turns on the motor but he gives it enough juice to counteract the current. The results is: a monster log following a boat.
I saw this clip too, watched over and over again, many years ago. That same feeling of disappointment and despair still prevails. Of not really knowing what magnificent, gigantic creature caused such wakes.
It's a buoy stuck underwater. The current of the river is giving an illusion that it's moving but it's actually stationary. When the guy pulls up to the "fish/creature" he cuts the motor and as the boat drifts back with the current it's giving an illusion of the submerged buoy swimming forward. It's not a fish/creature but a buoy stuck underneath water 😂
I have been fishing this river for almost 40 years just outside of KCMO and I have seen this and 1 other unexplained thing in this water but I have never been able to get up close like that though that was great, My problem is that its always at night and can never get a good look. I have always heard about the Missouri River Monster but cant say that I have seen it but have seen things that I cant explain. Great Video
@Shaikh Shaikh I really truly honestly can't explain what we saw either time. We saw a wake very similar to this like a dolphin the first time but the next time was a very long bright white shiny thing atleast 10 feet long or longer that disappeared right before a log jam and appeared again on the otherside. I still think about what that could have been even now over 25 years later and I have no answer.
@@KCJAZZ60 it's amazing and terrifying at the same time having glimpse of massive creatures right before eyes. Appreciate your response to my comment, thank you.
I've fished the Mississippi near Alton IL. We caught a 70 lb blue cat that got in the current and used it to its advantage. We also hooked into something that got into the current and headed up river. We pulled anchor and gave chase but were unable to land it. There are huge fish in that water.
my dad worked on the Missouri River bridges and dams. He saw divers come up so quickly because of what they had seen down below, and others be hauled up dead with marks on their bodies. The stories the live divers would tell were of monstrously big fish. My dad never allowed me to swim in the Missouri. Never.
@@amontii617 honestly the fact that so many bodies go undiscovered makes me think that sometimes fish get the better of someone. everyone's had a tiny bass or catfish go for a bait that's 3x it's size, why can't it happen with humans then? takes 20lbs of force to drag someone under.
The swaying motion of this creature almost matches the motion of how a paddlefish swims to a point, yet the size leaves me astonished! I know where ima be fishing for now on
The Ponca talk about a giant river monster that lived in the river, that's actually what brought me here I wanted to see if there was any footage or possible pictures of it
Lol.. What ever it is it's stationary. When they shut off the motor they are actually drifting back down stream. Watch in the background every time they catch up to it the same white building is there.
i lived in omaha fo 25 years, urban legend has it that when they built the bridge that connects omaha to council bluffs they had hard time finding divers for this reason
jerry arnold reason?? Like ... that there’s very big fish in there or was it because,the divers never came back up? Did they see something ? This is scary because I’ve seen northerns spawning in the spring and it makes me wonder how huge the biggest fish is in my lakes. I’m from northern Ontario. Sandy lake and out lake is pretty much on the shallow side but we do have some very deep areas and it makes me wonder When ice fishing near spring time we always get Something that literally just takes the bait and swims away as if it was thread and we use 30-40lb line. Sometimes I’ll use sinew wax string and usually yank out the big walleyes no problem unless the hook itself straightens out from its weight but there’s something very big under the ice/lake We have Northern Pikes, Walleyes, whitefish , suckers, the odd perch here and there and also Maria’s ( catfish eel like fish..yuck!! Just cut the line on that one) and we have way too much Gold eyes golden eye whitefish with teeth. And finally this one is a myth in our waters but elders say they did use to have them before. Sturgeons!!! But they’ve disappeared in the 1930-50s , Elders said they moved to the rapids .. but there have been sightings of something sturgeon like in the waters but no one has ever caught one ,, We have to revel far to get to them. But I’ve read about them and they can survive anything. Plus we have a clay bottom. I’m wondering if they’ve borrowed into the clay and are laying dormant til they feel it’s time to continue living Like a hibernation type thing for survival. I’m thinking it could be it. Come out in winter and go under in summer to avoid getting hit by props and boats I don’t just my assumptions. Lol. I like to think. But Anyway. Ever since I was 14 I’ve stopped swimming in our lakes on the account on my uncle and I set out a Gil net one early spring summer and the next mornings catch I couldn’t believe my eyes as my uncle struggled to get the giant northern pike onto the boat. Since then it’s made me wonder how big the biggest is and how big do they get? I heard they keep growing in size as long they’re alive.
Gregory Schwab I’ve got to look that up. About the muskellunge. I can understand catfish and Gar but I want to know about northern pikes and muskellunge. I’ve also seen huge suckers ( maybe 2-2 1/2 feet in size ) jump way up out of the water and never saw a predator around the area like at otter or fisher/mink. And to tell you the truth. I was 14 years old when I was with my uncle and I’m 44 now. I’ve only swam in the lake maybe twice in my life after that Lol. Scary
Well... Im not sure what it is. But I have seen lake sturgeon pull off some impressive waves and crazy movement in the water. We do have +300lb lake sturgeon in the Missouri. I have watched them once or twice come up the inlet of the papio creek just south of Omaha during flood stages. Pretty rare though.
At 3:46 there is a slight silhouette of a fish. It’s hard to see because the color matches that of the water, but there is some visibility. If it was a buoy, the bump you see at this time stamp would be smaller.
It gives the illusion that it's swimming away because they cut their motor and drift down stream and away from it. I grew up along a river and have seen similar, just look at the bank of trees to the right, it never gains any distance.
@@javaidhaider9289 I grew up along a River, logs do sink after a time when they're saturated with water. Also some get trapped below the surface and bob up and down with the current giving the illusion of something swimming.
A sighting like this at Loch Ness in Scotland would keep the tourist industry happy for decades lol. Probably a very large Alligator Gar hunting for small fish near the surface.
You can drive through Parkville at English Landing Park right down to the Missouri River. About fifteen feet off the shore there was a distubance in the water just like this. When the river was higher the surface would be smooth then suddenly swirl into a whirlpool sucking water a couple of feet below the surface. Then the whirlpool would vanish for a few minutes. People would step off the park's walking trail to stare at the spot, but that murky ol' river would never give up its secret. It was spookier than the devil! Eventually, during a lower river stage, divers discovered a dump-truck that had been stolen decades before and run off into the river.
I saw something almost exactly like that on the Columbia River a few weeks ago. I thought maybe I was seeing things, then I saw two of them yesterday. I have not been able to catch it on video but these also included a white spray right above the fish and they were even faster. I'm guessing sturgeon but if anyone knows for sure I'd like to know.
I have the exact same thing happen on the Kansas river last month, we followed it for two miles. Had people try telling me it was a school of buffalo. Hahah that’s one single fish not multiple.
Honestly, a few hundred pound alligator gar would probably do this when it swims at the top. I've seen lots of gar swim just below the surface. And as strong as gar can be, it seems to check out
Well Speaking Of Current, I Think the Boat Started The Current IN That particular Area. The Boat had Been Tured As Its Easy To Guess In The Film And Looks A lot Like The Boat Waves, As You Said It Can Look like Its Moving In One Derection Because Of The Angle The Camera Is At. I Really think This Is Boat Waves.
seen something like this once. it was a log hooked up on the bottom. it did the same thing. shut off the motor and float down current, makes it look like its swimming away from the boat.
It’s real, a log this size would definitely sink! And you can see that the current on the water is barely moving, he also said it’s going upstream which means even if there was a current it would go down stream, and not on the surface of the water.
I've never seen any fish stay on the surface like that before. Especially when there's a boat right on top of them. Very strange, would like to know what it is. I think it would almost have to be a sturgeon or a paddle fish
They are very popular in Germany they call them chirstmax fish. They was interduced over here years ago. As algae feeders but they love minnows n worms. Closer to a sucker fish.
ok folks, i studied this several times and my findings are, lol.... if you watch from the begining and look to the top of your screen, you will see something white across the river, each time they shut the motor off, then you can see they are still across from that white thing again about the same distance, so my findings are ( A BOUIE )... thanks for watching...lol
+chicago guy the shore is far away, you wont notice it change from their perspective because they're so far offshore. If they were like 100 feet from shore then you could go by the background and trees on the shore...but when you're that far from the land, you really dont notice movement unless you're moving greater distances than they're moving in this video
I believe this is real, because in one part, you could see a fin or a part of “its” head bob out of the water, and if it was a log or something, it would most likely float at the surface. I am not entirely sure, but that is my guess
This is a brach in the river and when they go close seems like a big fish or something else. But when they turn off the motor, the bolt slowly go back, this make lake a fish swimming up stream.
6 yrs ago video, and i am watching this vid in 2020 dec, anyone else?
@Fuck Me Woww what a name u have ,

When they turn off the boat its then you notice there moving backwards with the speed of the water, then they catch up to it again. Its stationary
Yeah it’s pro ya buoy that got pulled under or something similar.

I’ve seen this as well last year ! I knew I wasn’t trippin‼️‼️
You can drive through Parkville at English Landing Park right down to the Missouri River. About fifteen feet off the shore there was a distubance in the water just like this. When the river was higher the surface would be smooth then suddenly swirl into a whirlpool sucking water a couple of feet below the surface. Then the whirlpool would vanish for a few minutes. People would step off the park's walking trail to stare at the spot, but that murky ol' river would never give up its secret. It was spookier than the devil! Eventually, during a lower river stage, divers discovered a dump-truck that had been stolen decades before and run off into the river.
I saw something almost exactly like that on the Columbia River a few weeks ago. I thought maybe I was seeing things, then I saw two of them yesterday. I have not been able to catch it on video but these also included a white spray right above the fish and they were even faster. I'm guessing sturgeon but if anyone knows for sure I'd like to know.
this is not no ordinary fish. fish gets spook an swim off when the boat is that close, but it still kept swimming and doesn't care about the boat.
Please tell me this isn't pure ignorance and is sarcasm
i am an astronomer , its clearly a snagged log , well spotted Devon Smart
brian heppell I assure you this is not a log sorry Im late
Bill Murray sent me too. What a skeptic he can be.
I have the exact same thing happen on the Kansas river last month, we followed it for two miles.
Had people try telling me it was a school of buffalo. Hahah that’s one single fish not multiple.
Oh my grawd I am blind I can’t see it!!! :P
Honestly, a few hundred pound alligator gar would probably do this when it swims at the top. I've seen lots of gar swim just below the surface. And as strong as gar can be, it seems to check out
That's CRAZY brother!!!
imagine swimming in the same water then you see this huge fish attack you.
If he/she is no a shark then that fish will have his/her hands full with me
@@raffysungarngar3684 Fish with hands that came from Chernobyl
I am scared of some big game, now I think of the dangerous fish in the Amazon River and the Missouri.
how is it a log if they said it stopped and changed directions?
Ikr if its a log then thats a long ass log (Thats what she said 😏*
Look carefully. It never moved at all. They were moving the boat in relation to it, not the other way around.
How can it move? Then
It was moving by the current they say they were headed up stream but the way the current can be seen moving says differently
Well Speaking Of Current, I Think the Boat Started The Current IN That particular Area. The Boat had Been Tured As Its Easy To Guess In The Film And Looks A lot Like The Boat Waves, As You Said It Can Look like Its Moving In One Derection Because Of The Angle The Camera Is At. I Really think This Is Boat Waves.
"Dude, we gotta go over there"
You forgot your bow! Lol, Its a mini sub w/a tactical nuke!
That wasn't Nessy, that was Messy. (from missouri)
seen something like this once. it was a log hooked up on the bottom. it did the same thing. shut off the motor and float down current, makes it look like its swimming away from the boat.
Finally, someone knows what they're seeing
been on the river more than once. you see a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense until you really look into it.
Hoosier Waterfowlers it's going up stream
Stephen Hollinrake was gonna say the same till I scrolled down and seen you took the words out my mouth lol
The water isn’t even barely moving at this part of the river. That water would have to be moving a bit faster to make a wake like that.
it almost looks like to me a bunch of big Carps getting together during spawning season
That's what I was thinking.
Dude my attention span is so low I went from joe rogan to this in seconds.
"I almost saw his head" lol
Giant catfish? Or giant sturgeon? Maybe a shark? I've heard those can travel all the way up the river from south
That is true. There is some history about the U.S Rivers where some species of shark head upstream for some freshwater snacks.
It’s real, a log this size would definitely sink! And you can see that the current on the water is barely moving, he also said it’s going upstream which means even if there was a current it would go down stream, and not on the surface of the water.
My husband and I seen this exact same thing in the Missouri River near Washington Missouri
I live right off of the Missouri river and see things like this all the time. It's just submerged logs
Yeah when I see fish leave wake it's a continuous v shape. After reading that it looks like it's slightly bobbing
probably a submerged buoy.
Swimming upstream?
I've never seen any fish stay on the surface like that before. Especially when there's a boat right on top of them. Very strange, would like to know what it is. I think it would almost have to be a sturgeon or a paddle fish
It was dying (old age), hence the reason it wasn’t responding to the boat.
It's a tree or log..it's all a trick the river takes them back then they catch up again which looks like it's moving
Got big Gator Gar in there to. I've seen some 6ft long
Gar
In my culture it's called a dragon 🐉...in your culture it's called loch Ness...ain't no god daym fish that big n long especially in a river
They are very popular in Germany they call them chirstmax fish. They was interduced over here years ago. As algae feeders but they love minnows n worms. Closer to a sucker fish.
Nice trick f the river seen same on columbia. Buoy log !!!!!
They're gonna need a bigger boat!
Kudos to you for best comment down here......I hear ya.
2:35 IF you pause there, its a shadow of The fish
Maybe it’s The Loch Ness Monster in the Missouri River!
Somebody didnt give da Loch Ness monster tree fitty so he was hauling ass outta there.
ok folks, i studied this several times and my findings are, lol.... if you watch from the begining and look to the top of your screen, you will see something white across the river, each time they shut the motor off, then you can see they are still across from that white thing again about the same distance, so my findings are ( A BOUIE )... thanks for watching...lol
+chicago guy and if you look at the trees on the right you can see they never get closer to them.
+chicago guy the shore is far away, you wont notice it change from their perspective because they're so far offshore. If they were like 100 feet from shore then you could go by the background and trees on the shore...but when you're that far from the land, you really dont notice movement unless you're moving greater distances than they're moving in this video
2:44 omg.. if u look closeley it looks like it has 8 flat fins with circles
MyBrainKeepsOverHeating • 7 years ago I saw it but it looks like the water reflecting the sun
@@dg787 wdym
I believe this is real, because in one part, you could see a fin or a part of “its” head bob out of the water, and if it was a log or something, it would most likely float at the surface. I am not entirely sure, but that is my guess
it's some kind of sub, or maybe some kind of loch nest monster!
Lmbo!!! Looks like a coke sub coming from Cuba. He forgot to make that right turn in Albuquerque. 😂😂
Big Spoonbills / Paddle Fish will swim like this. I've seen some big ones in the Mississippi. I'd bet that's what it is.
Except it’s stationary it’s not swimming. Only thing moving is them.
it looks like a long snake because it was kind of moving in the motion of a snake or it was just waves
Most snakes stay above the water. Sea snake is only snake i know that breaths under water
This is a brach in the river and when they go close seems like a big fish or something else.
But when they turn off the motor, the bolt slowly go back, this make lake a fish swimming up stream.
a "Branch" Going/Swimming UPSTREAM ?! Did you understand what you've just said ??? LOL
It’s probably the paddle fish or the vampire facial
I had an 8ft. Catfish on the line in the Mo. River. The bastard broke my line and nearly flipped the dam boat!!
No you didn’t
billschannel sent me here :)
Aww the magnificent and dreaded cottonwood monster.
That was actually scarry.
