Is this true, Nessie is just a giant catfish?

Tourists will still come in hopes of catching a glimpse of the prehistoric beast of Loch Ness, but Steve Feltham, a dedicated Nessie hunter, has concluded after 25 years that the creature is just a monster catfish.

After nearly a quarter century of camping out by the banks of Scotland's Loch Ness hoping to glimpse "Nessie", the most dedicated hunter of the legendary monster has given up, concluding it is just a very big catfish.

Steve Feltham, who gave up his girlfriend, house and job in southwest England in 1991 to spend his life looking for the Loch Ness monster, believes he has solved the mystery behind its many sightings, the Times newspaper reported on July 16.
