What the heck are you talking about?
Has it been proven a hoax? Yes or no?
Do I know what he was doing? NO.
Do I have the evidence or proof? NO.
So therefore it hasn't been proven either way!
Anyway as to that baby bigfoot... look after 4 minutes mark in this video:
It does look like the creature dropped something. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT WAS! It could be a large duffel bag for all we know!
Look right after the 4:12 mark and you'll see a banjo.

Oh well never mind then. Talking to a troll.
It was a joke. Lighten up. I laughed about the baby bigfoot and the flashing fish. The least you can do is laugh about the banjo.

This video gets really interesting @ 1:55.
Why don't you tell us what we're supposed to be looking for or why it's interesting. People post dozens of videos a day.

You're absolutely right...it was a mistake to call you sweetie. I think you should have someone film you walking in a swamp carrying a baby in one arm and catching a fish with the other and we will see if you can be as graceful as the ape in this video. You don't even have to wear the suit.

Like I said it just depends on what part of the swamp. So yes if its a hoax it can be done, its mostly location. But it looks like the water in that area may be at least 3 feet if not more, the thing makes pretty big splashes. No other animals around, generally birds and things stay in the shallows, in the more deep swamp you would have things like snakes, gators, and well other things you would not want to run into. If its fishing there then there is likely other predators around.
But you cant really tell either way from that vid, even that thing its got in its hand I only said it may be a snake because its pretty long a bit to long to be wet hair, and it hangs like a snake would so its not a stick. But even that you can not see. As for this babyboot thing, I just dont see it. Besides it would not be likely to drop its baby in the water, then jump on in and pick it up. If it had it, it would likely put it on its back or on whatever its standing on, the tree roots then jump in turn around and pick it up.
And you watch to much TV if you think people life in the swamps. There are dudes that go there, mostly on those motor boats, but those things would be heard from 10 miles away. Really even like somebody else said here, some pages back. A hunter, most of them dont go past knee deep water areas, if the water can get in there boots there likely not going to go. And if you want to go in some of the depths you would have to swim.
It could be a hoax, and since the one who took the vid is not saying. Its anybodies guess, if you can get the location in the 240acre swamp you can at least get a gist of what was going on, but other then that. So ya! It could be faked, it all just depends on were and why.
But really the only way you would likely sneak up on something like that, if it existed, in a swamp, is in a canoe, and then only if it was busy and distracted. If you have somebody who is willing to go into the swamp just to take some vids and make some hoaxes. By all means go ahead, just make sure you have some way of sending the footage back, internet linkage or something from there. It would make for some hilarious showings, and likely a educational video of why you dont go into the swamp for the park rangers to show people, your not likely to find Bigfoot, put I am sure some gators or snakes may be around. That and it would get a lot of hits on YouTube, it would be better then those vids of the people who let others kick them in the nuts just so they can be on YouTube.
Yet there are people out there hunting every day. There are people living in swamps. And let's not forget the huge number of absolutely stupid people who do incredibly stupid things. There are even TV programs devoted to showing people doing stupid stunts.

I think most people will agree that there is no baby and there is no fish but most women would be up to the task.

I think the video displays evidence for my shallow argument.
LOL. I think it's important that we all approach this stuff with a good sense of humor. By the way, I suspect that Sasquatch, whatever they are, probably do exist.

Here are three examples of people living in swamps:
www.hermitary.com...
news.nationalgeographic.com...
www.history.com...
I'm not saying it's common but some people do it.
I agree with you that the only way you could sneak up on that "creature" would be in a canoe. That's another reason I suspect that it's a hoax.

Some may do it. However I do not think they headed directly into the swamp for the fun of it, nor were they unaccustomed to it or its dangers, of if they were they over time knew were they could go and were not to. Besides the last guy lived there in 1980, a lot more foreign predators have been introduced since then, in fact in the last few years also making it a lot more dangerous since back in 1980 much less back in the 1940's. The guy who lived there till 1980 is even quoted of saying. " Even so, in advanced age he complained that "it's not like it used to be, that's for sure. If I wasn't so old, since everybody else has left, I'd leave, too. But I'll stay here till I die."
Said he died at age 112, now that is a pretty long life for a human especially considering he was a hermit living in a swamp. But the place has likely changed a lot since then. I dont think there are any hermits living there now, but who knows.
But still none of that says that some frat boys or somebody can just pack up one day head into the middle of the swamp and make a hoax video for the fun of it. Besides, like I said, unless whoever took that vid shows were in the swamp it was and speaks up. Its anybody's guess if its hoax or not.
I mean does it matter if Bigfoot exists or not. But if a 112 yr old man can survive in that type of area, even if its not the deep swamp, I think a Bigfoot who is likely immune to the many poisonous animals and insects and can likely overpower gators and other things in the area would do just fine living there. And like the hermits who lived there nobody would be none the wiser that they existed.
Either way it does not matter.

Well that's cool. At least he decided to come forward. It says in the link that he is not willing to go back to look for whatever it was. So if he is not in on the hoax, I dont think some random people would just be waiting around in a swamp to perpetrate a hoax on some random paddler who may happen to come by.
If anything since he is not willing to go back, maybe should give the location of were it was, and from there you can figure out at least how big it is if there willing to go. Its not a regular ape from the looks of it, legs are to long if it was a escaped chimp or gorilla it would not walk like that, half its body would be in the water as well lumbering forward on all fours or wading through the water belly down if its to deep to walk like they normally walk on land.
Cool stuff either way. But even if it existed and was not a hoax whatever it was, I do not think it would come back to the same spot now that its been spotted there. So the only thing you have to worry about is the regular inhabitants of the swamp if anybody were to go back.

Well I don't think " most" people have looked at the video in search of those anomalies. Btw. I am not the one that first spotted the "baby" or the "fish/snake". I only found/noticed them after the other witnesses mentioned them. Look...I am as much of a skeptic as anyone about the validity of this video and up until I saw ALL of the components of what was transpiring in the video I was almost 100% sure it was a hoax. Now.... until I can convince myself that what appears to be happening in the video is not really happening I am actually leaning toward believing it to be the real deal.
Although there are some questions that should be answered by the person that filmed it.

Didn't see this before. Posted back on Tuesday, the 27th
I believe this is about the footprints referenced above
www.abcactionnews.com...
Fasano has said the video is from the same person that took the pics of the footprint(s ? I've only seem one footprint in the story) but this report indicates a woman took these pics. Did someone pretend to be a woman or have a woman submit the footprint pics to the news station?
www.sasquatchevidence.com...
A video has surfaced from the same person that sent me the photos of the footprints taken at the canoe launch at Lettuce Lake Park in Tampa. I will email him back and see if he has any other video or photos he can share.
I believe this is about the footprints referenced above
Now more alleged Bigfoot evidence, this time a woman taking a picture of a large footprint. She says it was twice as big as her woman’s’ size 9.
Looking at the details behind that photo, it shows it was snapped with an iPhone6, doesn’t look altered.

What the hell are you people talking about, what baby Bigfoot? Or are is this some other video other then the one in the OP.
The baby bigfoot is likely a trap the person is pulling up. With a video this unclear, how can anyone say with a straight face this is a bigfoot with their baby!? Could be some guy doing illegal trapping and carefully walks away from the canoeist. The big legs are his waders so he doesn't get wet.
The person that made this video isn't offering any evidence of the park ranger for corroboration in his story. And, then when the audio is studied and another person's voice is on it he finally confesses to another person being along. What about their testimony. Holy smokes, this guy see's a supposed bigfoot and he clams up on details. Supposedly, he's too shook up to talk much about it, sure he is, that's why he's digging the attention from Huffpost. He doesn't say anything more to them and shame on Huffpost for not pursuing the Ranger part of the story.
If anyone believes this weak evidence I have some swamp land in Florida to sell you…with a bigfoot somewhere on it.
