I lived there in the '70's and there were legends back then also. It was rumored there was no bottom to the lake, and underwater tunnels that ran for miles.

Omg, what's a FISH doing in a LAKE??!!!

I can’t believe I watched all that for a fish

The mysterious creature was a fish? That's called click baiting, and it is both aggravating and dishonest. You are wasting people's time and deceiving them just to get a higher view count.

misleading title: there is no mysterious creature

save yourself 3 mins, its a fish

There's something big down there. When I lived at Tahoe, a friend called me and said, "Come over quick you've got to see this." He had been trolling on the lake when he hooked a 10 lb+ lake trout. He said as he was reeling it in he felt a big tug and then the line went slack. What he finally reeled in was a 10+ lb lake trout that was half gone. There was a big crescent shaped bite mark, and the back half of the fish was gone. Something is big enough down there to treat a 10 lb lake trout like a minnow.

I thought it was going to be Jason vorees LMAO

I think a lot of people here arent aware that the deepest known point is over 1600ft deep in Lake Tahoe, which is(if you're not fully aware) is very, very VERY deep. Just look at the different life forms in the ocean that live that deep compared to the "fish" that live in the 300ft depth range and you'll see why this is a TREMENDOUS and extremely important accomplishment.

It's a good indicator of either the calmness of the region or the lack of true journalism, that this passes for "news".

I lived in Jackson CA in the 1950's, a fellow my dad worked with fished Tahoe regularly and caught a few fish, one was Strugen about 3 feet long. Those fish live way down on the bottoms where they feed.

That looks nothing like any trout I've ever caught. Looks more like a catfish.

ive never seen a fish before thanks for blowing my mind

That looked way more like a big Catfish

Could be there's a giant sturgeon living in Lake Tahoe's depths.

Dear petly . If you time it and stop it 5 feet from the bottoms you might get to see more than silt ... you also need to drop lights around it .. attach them to bobbers and have 20 plus sitting in the circle your filming ... would lov3 to help work on this and plan this out
