Former newspaper publisher Larry Gwin and a friend reported two large humps throwing up a speedboat-like wake on the Altamaha, bringing Georgia's river monster national attention.

The account
Some accounts date the sighting to December 1980. In 2018 a decomposing carcass found on Wolf Island briefly revived interest, but it proved to be a hoax model.
The sceptical view
Some locals suspected the publicity was good for tourism in McIntosh County.
