Yep, that's the lake and that's the monster.  A friend and I are in an old Discovery Channel show about Ogopogo.  I am as sure as I can be without landing the fish that I hooked a sturgeon in the lake one time (the bite, hook-up and fight was identical to big sturgeon I've caught in other waters.)  Slim evidence.  But the director's premise was that the lake monster is sturgeon, so they interviewed us and had us reenact the purported hook-up with a sturgeon.   I never have seen the segment though once in awhile a friend will say, "Hey, I couldn't sleep last night and at 3:00 am I saw you on the Discovery Channel."
