"We Have No Doubt We Saw The Devil": Hunting The Monster Of Lake Labynkyr | The Unexplained Files 

My ex wife used to swim in there from the discription its definitely her.. And if there ever was a monster fish in there she would have eaten it by now poor thing

To any future directors who decide to do a re-enactment of a boat incident...OUTBOARD MOTORS DO NOT FLOAT!!!!

Jeremy wade is the man they need to call,

The theory that perhaps some ancient species officially known to be extinct may have in fact somehow survived over millions of years in this remote lake and some other freshwater or saltwater bodies on the planet, is not a far-fetched possibility.

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.

What about those aliens in lake Baikal ? The Russian divers were blasted to the surface so fast that several men died from the bends.

Those dudes on their kayak looking for a river monster... _'You're gonna need a bigger boat...'_

I wonder if they've thought about scanning the water when its frozen, it'd be more safer than going on the water and possibly get sunk by this creature, will definitely be good to hear if any updates on this! 👍💙

I love how some people think they know all the answer,s How about there Being a under ground entrance, Fresh air Cave, There so many way,s it could hide.

Wow! I've never heard this one. I didn't even know there were sturgeon that looked like that or got that big. This should be investigated more. Btw that diver has huge cast iron balls to go in there.

the scientists went monster hunting with no secondary engine or even some oars...DUMB I wouldnt be diving in that lake!

We're going to search for a monster in the lake let's get the smallest boat possible. Wait we survived I know let's go scuba diving and look for it, this should work!!

Jaws : " we're gonna need a bigger boat !" Laugh 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣

More like " a devil of a beast" but the motor of a boat flying off or some force circling the other boat seemed like a huge paranormal experience -- wonder if there are new happenings in recent years?

3:26 "The 2 terrified men realized they were being hunted by...", a floating motor. I think a floating motor, would scare me more than the sunken tree they hit.

Embryo eels complete with yolk sack were found once at 2 feet long, as opposed to 1/2 inch long of the common eel Anguilla Anguilla. I'd suggest a Greenland Shark though. Who knows what fabulously long subterranean passages exist connecting these deep lakes with the sea?!

I don't understand how their boat was attacked- then they go back into the water with that inflatable flimsy thing!? 😲😂🤣😂

I would never go out on that Lake in a boat less than 15 meters long. Yet I can imagine some moron out on that lake in a kayak. Then one day people see a empty kayak overturned just drifting around the lake. LoL no need to investigate this missing person case. Case closed. Okay everybody go home.

What if there are underground caves that have air in them, and provide a habitat for some large air breathing dinosaur, reptile, or marine mammal ?

It takes a lot of power to remove an outbound motor from a boat, it would either have to break the cast iron bracket that holds it, or bust out transom with it,

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.

Man, I gotta' get me one of them Yamaha floating outboards! That one looked like a 2-stroke, too.😉

So a scientist went out onto a lake that a boat had had its motor smashed off on a child's boat without oars? Maybe they should have worn blindfolds as well.

Just like scientists thought Coelacanth was extinct, and the Frilled Shark, without a shadow of doubt, there’s other “once thought extinct” creatures out there. Dunkleosteus had a giant parrot-like beak/jaw, just as the locals described.

Interesting piece! regardless of what it truly was, it forces you to wonder about what lies below the waters of our planet that have yet to be found

It seems unlikely those men would risk their lives in such a way find out if there lurked a monster.

" give mr bean a call 📞 !" Laugh 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣

I expected the cryptozooologist to agree with the dinosaur theory not a giant eel.

That big extinct croc ancestor has a jaw and head a third of its length, and big male saltwater crocs today in Australia are notorious for attacking boat motors, just saying...

The most unbelievable thing in this video, is an outboard engine floating on the surface of the water.

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...

Wow! Never heard of this before. Would love to see updates on this! They need to go back!

We have our own mystery with Lake Tahoe and what's beneath it's waters... "The world isn't ready for what's down there." - Jacques Cousteau

Me : watching the recreation of the incident "Man I hope they make it to shore" Me : uhhh the guy's telling the story Me : I'm an idiot 🤦‍♂️😂

The big fish we saw was definitely the DEVIL! Cool story comrade….

Wow very interesting, we know less about our oceans and in this case the lake in Siberia. Great video THANKS

Well, the coelacanth did not listen to Darwins' fairytale. They were " discovered" in 1938. Scientists saw it only in the fossil 'record'. Many, many leviathans and behemoths do exist. The Marriannas Trench is 7 miles deep.

We almost got swallowed by a 49 foot creature lucky to be alive lets send a helpless diver in there and get to the bottom of this 🙈

We think we know what all there is to know but we don’t.... especially when it comes to the waters depths.

The discovery of new previously unseen diatoms has been well documented.

More likely just a big Sturgeon. They can get several meters long and weigh several hundred pounds. They also sometimes likes to swim in the surface despite being a bottom feeder and some species looks dinosaur like. Edit : aahh nevermind. I now finished scrolling though the video and see they mention this animal themselves.

Really interesting. Thanks Quest!

eel can get much larger than the 3 meters stated in this video, they have several life cycles and in some circumstances they can regress to an earlier life cycle and start to grow again they can get to enormous sizes, they most common explanation for the loch ness monster is also an eel

Nope! I met the devil. When Joe Flannery in Liverpool (ex-road manager of the Beatles, manager, makeup artist, sorcerer, MI5 agent, Illuminatus...) invoked the devil aftet I passed a guitar audition at his home in Aigbirth, suburban Liverpool, Lancashire-Merseyside. It was in March 2001, I was 17 going 18.

These men collided with a case of vodka ! 👈😝 💯%

Jeremy Wade :- ' Hold my beer '

LOL at the floating outboard!

So…. The devil is a giant man eating fish?

Floating outboard....

I'm a hunter....... We are not the only clever being on this earth

Should have taken a blurry picture so we can all see .🙄

Did we need to hear/see the poor seal dying.

Twice the size of the largest sturgeon, or 50 times the largest freshwater eel? The largest eels (New Zealand Longfin) are just over 50 lbs and female, not sterile males. Very large eels undoubtedly exist, but this creature would be several orders of magnitude larger than any known specimens.

Never figure out these things until they stop with the millions of years ago crap.

There were 2 gigantic eels in grand basin lake on Mauritius. The heads were nearly a metre wide. Very few knew about it but my father in-law built a temple there and saw them many times. 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. I contacted the national history museum and they wanted to do an ROV probe but needed photo evidence and we didn't have a picture.

Since mobile phones and pocket cameras have been around for decades such creatures have obviously learned to stay out of sight.

Absolutely fascinating! However, I've learned over time that you cannot believe anything the comes out of Russia. No story, no tale, even the scientists tell whoppers with very little prompting. Add to this habit the fact that most Russians are drunk a surprising amount of the time during the day and night, and you get reports of "the devil" on the lake. IOW, I love the story, but I got a feeling it's just a story. "The motor shot into the sky!" I'll bet anything that dude was drunker than a goat trapped in a winery when this happened.

Sounds pretty monstrous!! "Mouth like a bird's beak"?? What could THAT be?? 😯 Head a third of its length?? That can't even be an alligator: anyway, it's too cold.for them there... Sturgeon?? Do they attack people? *Definitely* don't go swimming there!! 🏊🚫

Thats not how a fishing sonar works, you cant determine a fishes length like that. A long line only means that something was directly under your sonar for a longer time

3:17 & 3:28 - the two funniest moments in this idiotic video - a flying outboard that becomes a floating one. Brilliant!

Goodness, brave men to say the very least

What a shock they would have got if it came out the water and chased them after them

I really want to see what animal it is! This is so exciting!!🤩🤩

Underwater drone cameras! 🎥 Totally worth taking one out put a very long rope for retrieval just incase and attach bright light. 💯

Somebody actually studies sterile eels - this is a thing?

Why not set some underwater cameras with some bait smdh,do all that investigation and no cameras lol smdh,on top of that going out at night trying to see it 🤣

I would love to hear more about this.

As a Marine aboard the USS Bristol county LST 1198 , on a west pack, heading back to Okinawa from Subic bay in 1982 we were traveling with one of the worst typhoons ever recorded at the time. That, was ruff seas!

When the expert cant explain it they become expert in bullshitting

i like the part where the boat motor goes flying then it shows it floating in the water 😹😹😹😹😹😹 must be the New 150 lb motor that floats. only in Russia.

Mind you, *plesiosaurs* have quite a *small* head compared to their bodies, *not* one 1/3 of the size of its length. So the description doesn't fit that animal.

Siberia is full.of monster fish. Sturgeon and Taimen Trout. I love how they ripped the seat off the pontoon boat in lieu of a nice platform.

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

If this type of creature died out millions of years ago (along with dinosaurs) then how come soft tissue has been found (more than once) in dinosaur bones ?

Holy crap that's one HUGE fish...I knew they got big but never knew they got THAT big...I thought sturgeon would be 2, maybe 3 meters at best. Wow was I WAY off...

Fantasy. The floating motor was funny though.

Like the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot, never anything but anecdotal evidence.

Leviathan

Those "Explorers" and this channel needs a Realitycheck!!!

They are crazy as hell. Some things are best left alone!!!

The Devil's Wears Prada ???

Perhaps a Sasquatch or sooo?

a motion detecting camera wirh a bait feeder might be far less risky

4:22 Scientists "Are we paddling in circles?" 😂

The land creatures were wiped out all at once a few thousand years ago, by a world wide flood, which brought a mini ice age. Why couldn't a dino have survived if ii can live under the ice, or be frozen and survive.

An Eel that's funny 😂🤣✌️🖖🙏👍

I wouldn't be on the lake in a small boat. I would have to have a very big boat to do my research. I'm glad that there are people that will go out and be potential bait for these animals just for research. Amd also for our knowledge and entertainmemt.

That outboard must've been the display model.

The devil!?!?

It's a true story, but Putin was only there for a short trip.

I remember there was a Pop song in the '80's called Like a Sturgeon

amazing document! woww and scary indeed!!

POR FAVOR QUEST PONGAN LOS CAPÍTULO EN ESPAÑOL SOMOS MÁS AUDIENCIA

Next time use one of the floating Suzuki outboard motors for bait. Whatever it is it seems to like them.

I'll share something, my grandfather and I went onto a very small lake in Northern Minnesota, he being the child had brought along a bailing twine, you see a week earlier he was fishing on the lake and caught what can be described as grayling fish which as you know is found in the arctic, anyway he brought me with I guess to back up his story, I digress. He tied a small anchor to the free end and let it go, it went on and unraveling at a high rate of speed, his face changed as the line finally popped off the spool, he looked at me and I at him, grabbed the oars and gently (not to accidentally beckon an inhabitant) rowed to shore, we didn't speak and when we got back grandmother said nothing, you see a spool of twine is 10,000 feet long

I'm sure their are ancient animals out there we have yet to see. They stay hidden. Rare creatures

Giant eels most likely. These are known to grow to several meters in length. Some can grow until they die.

There are unknown animals all over the world we have only scratched the surface

At 3:21 the guy says "kyk daai kant"... that is afrikaans and means, "look that side" I must've repeated it 10 times as I couldn't believe I've heard correctly. I can't make out what they're saying when they start paddling to the shore... How does the afrikaans language end up in a russian story? Fascinating...

No one thought about dropping a camera down there. SMH
