A Florida Fisherman Took This Photograph of a Skunk Ape

By -

Is this the elusive Skunk Ape? A retired 66-year-old electrician named John Rodriguez claims it is. He sent this high-def photograph to The Huffington Post:

According to Rodriguez, the photograph was taken during a fishing trip on December 26th on the Hillsborough River near northeast Tampa, Florida.

"I fish for gar in the river and I bring my camera to take pictures of the birds and what not. I heard a squishing sound, looked over and saw this thing walking through the water and crouch down in the duck weed. It did not look like a guy in a suit -- it was definitely an animal. I took this picture and got out of there as fast as I could."

      I'm glad he's your son. I slept with his mommy too and I'm glad he's the son of one of the 40 others.

      As far as the photo of the Florida Skunk Ape, it's fake as the day is long. Bigfoot doesn't have a gorillas nose.

      @Eva - I am keeping an open mind, the fact I even entertain the idea of Bigfoot proves this.
      But this doesn't look real, it doesn't seem alive, or like a real creature or animal. It looks lifeless and more like a prop or a digitally manipulated image.
      The fact that these creatures are supposed to be so elusive and hard to photograph, not to mention the amount of fakes and hoaxes there are means that yes we should keep an open mind to the idea of Bigfoot but not every single photo or video that is presented here.
      It's very rare, unfortunately, that I ever see some 'evidence' presented here that I think "yep, this looks like it could be legit" - but once in a while there is! Which is what keeps me coming back for more :)

    Sykes tested all of the best samples from america that researchers were confident were bigfoot. So that should seal the deal right? Nope. Every single sample came back as a known species thus proving researchers are full of it and that bigfoot truely is a mythical non existent creature.

    If it was not such a clear and focused pic, it would be more believable. As it is, that gorilla mask has obvious seams where the hair is tucked in around the face.

    First, look at the trees. The water is obviously only a few inches deep. Second, all of the hair above the waterline is dry and there is no hair floating on the water. While it is possible that this was the greatest depth the creature reached, the line at the waterline is too precise.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
