The Massive Devil Fish That Terrorized Northern Canada's Cold Lake: The Kinosoo

The Kinosoo legend is well known through the Northern parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta. The First Nations tale was originally a warning to any would be fishermen to stay out of the middle of Cold Lake, one of the deepest and windiest lakes in both provinces. The spiteful behemoth is known to take down moose or canoes and swallow men whole. Is it real? Is it fake? Is it still alive? Watch and leave a comment below on what your thoughts are.

I am absolutely fascinated by folk tales of mythical beasts that have perfectly logical explanations. Something about people being presented with stuff in nature they haven't seen before, and then using their imagination to fill in the blanks, makes me both pity and appreciate the human brain.

[@DiveInCanada]

The brain does wild things to add complex adventure to the simple. That’s where some of the spice of life comes from! But I’m with you, Occam’s razor.

[@tristianlefebvre1878]

I grew up In Cold Lake and I learned a little of the Kinosoo but didn't remember much.

[@DiveInCanada]

Glad we could fill in some gaps.

[@Inlinetodie]

Oh, another fun fact, Moose, can stay underwater for a long time, they feed on long grass along the bottom of lakes, seen some huge Moose eating on the bottom of lakes

[@DiveInCanada]

That’s impressive. It adds to the whole “moose bones” angle.

[@Skully002]

This is the series I didn't know I needed.

[@DiveInCanada]

This is the comment I didn’t expect to get! Thanks for watching. Episode 2 should be out in a few weeks.

[@MR-JUSTINN]

@@DiveInCanada episode 2??

[@DiveInCanada]

@@MR-JUSTINN stay tuned! We are working on one as we speak.

[@Dwzonbell]

Keep going, we hope you remember that we love your videos.

[@DiveInCanada]

With comments like yours, the videos will keep coming! Thanks for the kind words of encouragement.

[@SmittyMRE]

Aside from the base, I've never heard much about Cold Lake. This is awesome. Thanks buddy! Really great video

[@DiveInCanada]

There is a lot of history up there. I have a few more stories to tell so stay tuned.

[@RockHardTackleCo]

I wish cold lake was as exciting as this video.

[@DiveInCanada]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@xXDoUbLeDDXx38]

I've lived in cold lake for 21 years and I had no idea that marvels wolverine was said to be from here. I knew it was Alberta but that's shocking to me. 😂 instantly googled it after hearing you say it haha

[@DiveInCanada]

There is even a statue up by the old nato radar site, north of the bmx track. Go check it out!

[@xXDoUbLeDDXx38]

@@DiveInCanada wow I had no idea. That old radar site is a museum now so that definitely makes sense it'd be there. Very cool, thank you!

[@tylercaines2679]

I’m going to head up to the lake and take a look. I’ll let you know if I see the Kinosoo. Or Wolverine.

[@DiveInCanada]

Catch a big guy out there bud!

[@Inlinetodie]

I've seen reptiles in the mountains of BC, 4 legged and serpents 🐍

[@DiveInCanada]

Ogopogo is definitely on the list

[@JOBdOut]

I despised seafood before this video. Not a fan afterwards

[@DiveInCanada]

I do wonder what ol’ Kino would taste like? If the smell is any indication, garbage mixed with a side of Satan

[@duane5851]

I like how this version of the story is more accurate by mentioning the proper traditional tribe the Denesuthline.

[@DiveInCanada]

We strive to tell the story properly. Thanks for watching!

[@MR-JUSTINN]

Wolverine from cold lake can you explain 😅

[@DiveInCanada]

Absolutely. Wolverine is a popular marvel super hero who was given a proper back story in the 2000’s. His birth place was mentioned as the area around Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada.

[@MR-JUSTINN]

@@DiveInCanada cool thank you man 😂👍
