Whats the best way to catch the Loch Ness Monster?

Many expeditions have tried to catch ol' Nessie, and all have failed. So, future engineers, if you had a reasonable budget for such an expedition, how would you go about catching Nessie, or more realistically, catching Nessie on film?

Set up about 6 camaras around the lake. Have them all hooked up to monitors in a control room. Pay 2 people who have nothing better to do to watch the monitors for a couple months(2 twelve hour shifts). When one of them sees something, they press record on the recording device. Caught on tape.

Now for actually catching it, that's simple. Just drain the lake and donate the water to the Thirsty Kids Association. You would probably have to filter ithe water a bit first but besides that nagging little detail, the plan is flawless.

You go to Scotland, like I did last September, and you take a picture of the Loch on a cold, wet and foggy day. When you get home, you title it "Loch Ness, no monster" and show it to all your friends. They will point out a mysterious dark spot on the water that you will swear must be just a log...

Loch Ness, no monster

I've got a "ghost" from Loch Lomond too.

gah, clark, you beat me to the photoshopping... grrr

Yeah, I started this one before I went down to watch some Daily Show. Come back, and Clark got to photoshop first. Basically I took that one chunk and ran it through some photoshop sharpening filters so it became a bit clearer. The size on Clark's, as you can see by comparing it to my work, is obviously way out of proportion.
