My guess is a big kitty.
Whatever it is its big - check out that thick shadow on a 120ft scan.

would you guess those fish to be any where from 30 to 60 feet from the left of your boat?

Here is a couple that swam under my boat when I was crappie fishing last month. I'm thinking cat and paddle.

Dayne,
what unit are you using. Is it strictly a DI unit or is it combination side scan/DI. doc

That was taken on my LOW hds 8 on down scan. I have quit using 2d sonar as down gives me a much better pic.

This is where Humminbird Side Imaging Zoom comes in handy... This is an image of 3 Spoonbills see the "Bills" The 3 Spoonbill are at a variety of different heights look at the distance the sonar shadows are away from the fish. Fish at top of screen is farther from the both approximately 19' but closer to the bottom since sonar shadow is closer. The Middle fish is about 17' from the transducer but suspended higher since the sonar shadow is farther away that the top fish. The fish at the bottom of the image is about 15' from the transducer but suspended high in the water column since the shad is farthest away from the return. BTW all the scattered white dots are Crappie all over this area as there was probably 50 boats in this old channel below the dam and everyone was yanking them in...
