History Channel Monster Quest....
Did anyone catch this lame show this evening? At least the photography was good. If there are mammoth mega-jaw monsters in the Sea of Cortez,one would
think they would show up in gill nets.
The "team" spotted the monster in a plane, radioed down to the boat that it was close by (it was a whale shark) scary music played, "the monster, the
black demon disappeared because of the noise of the boat scared it away. Thats what they do. It must have been a big, big chark...."
lame.
"Sharks have terrified people for centuries and deep within the forbidding waters of Mexico's Baja Peninsula may lurk a mammoth sixty foot monster.
Could it be a new giant species or some living relic, hidden in the sea? In prehistoric times, huge carnivorous sharks, more than twice the size of a
great white, ruled the waves. Marine experts claim these giants went extinct, but evidence may challenge that. Meanwhile, frightened Mexican fisherman
talk of being stalked by a "Black Demon"; and sailors report close collisions with a shark unlike anything that they have encountered before. In a
search for answers, MonsterQuest uses a combined air and sea search for this monster shark that may be prowling the last unexplored frontier of our
planet.

Lame is being too generous!
They knew exactly what it was before filming and designed an entire show around something they knew was false.
But it was kind of cool to see Gonzaga Bay on tv.

Yeah, I watched it.
What nonsense! I kept telling Alex, "all they have to do is pull in to BOLA and ask Paulina".
Ken, this show may actually have been worse than Huel Howser.
