    Any ideas?

    This is out of a small pond. I initially thought a baitfish school, but maybe not...the measuring tool says 7 1/2 ft

    I'm pretty sure it's a hefty turtle, swimming with the boat at a good clip, the si image I think I see its head coming out of a shell. The di has a shell profile as well

    No one can be wrong that often so it has to be deliberate.

    Im leaning towards baitball, but the shadow is pretty solid.

    Water depth was about 8 or 9ft and boat speed was about 1.5mph

    No such thing as a measuring tool as boat speed will shrink or stretch the image
