Nessie' hunter George Edwards waited 26 years for this moment – and he now believes he has the best picture ever taken of the Loch Ness monster.

He spends his life on the loch – around 60 hours a week - taking tourists out on his boat, Nessie Hunter IV, and has led numerous Nessie hunts over the years.

But this image is the one that’s convinced him that there really is a monster or monsters out there. It shows a mysterious dark hump moving in the water towards Urquhart Castle.

A monster hunter who has spent 26 years searching for the Loch Ness Monster claims to have taken the "best picture ever" of the beast.

"I was just about to return to Temple Pier (in Drumnadrochit) and I went to the back of the boat which was facing the pier and that's when I saw it," said 60-year-old Mr Edwards, a lifelong believer in the monster.

"It was slowly moving up the loch towards Urquhart Castle and it was a dark grey colour. It was quite a fair way from the boat, probably about half a mile away but it's difficult to tell in water."

After watching the object for five to ten minutes, Mr Edwards said it slowly sank below the surface and never resurfaced. "I'm convinced I was seeing Nessie as I believe in these creatures.

Far too many people have being seeing them for far too long," he said. "The first recorded sighting was in 565AD and there have been thousands of eye witness reports since then.

"All these people can't be telling lies. And the fact the reports stretch over so many years mean there can't just be one of them. I'm convinced there are several monsters."

Before releasing it publicly he sent it to the USA for analysis, though he can't reveal further details.

"I did not want to mention my sighting until I was sure that I had not photographed a log or something inanimate in the water in the water," he said.

"I have friends in the USA who have friends in the military.

"They had my photo analysed and they have no doubt that I photographed an animate object in the water. I was really excited as I am sure that some strange creatures are lurking in the depths of Loch Ness."

Nice pics.

I think it's facing away from the camera.

If you look closely you will notice it is simply a carp much closer than you would think it was.

yea, if i saw something like that, i aswell would watch it for 60 minutes but only take 1 picture.

all i see is some flat object stickin out of the water that sordof resembles some animal hump, but it looks 2d like a peice of paper, or just a fin or something.

either way that guy should probably just get a job or give all his money he spends on this b.s to some needy kids in africa.

what the f*ck is wrong with people.

OMG IM GOING TO SPEND ENOURMOUS AMOUNTS OF TIME/MONEY TO PROVE SOMETHING EXSISTS THAT REALLY WONT CHANGE THE f*cking WORLD AROUND US ANYWAY, INSTEAD OF HELPING PEOPLE IN NEED.

f*cking scumbags
