Oscar was one of the “monsters” profiled. Still sits in my mind as one of the premiere cryptids…. even if it isn’t, really.

I know they CAN reach huge sizes if the body of water and food supply are available to them. There is a soft shelled turtle in Asia (N. Korea, I think) that gets pretty massive as a matter of course. No reason to think a few freshwater turtles in North America can’t reach some pretty impressive sizes if they can avoid predation.

Curious if ‘Oscar’ was a one off sort of thing or if they just manage to grow large due to optimal conditions (and do those conditions still exist).

Ol’ Oscar is a fun critter. I’ve always thought it unlikely that that kind of ruckus could build up over nothing at all. Are you planning on searching the lake for signs?
