Until there are pictures, I don't have pictures. But you can see pictures of an extinct coalecanth that was caught - oops!. Same for the 'Nessie' that the Japanese fishing boat caught.
We don't see sub atomic particles either [maybe yet], but only have evidences of them.
Coelacanth was only assumed to be extinct, obviously, the ocean is a much bigger place for things to remain unseen than some swampy places in Africa, or Loch Ness. Finding the Coelacanth didn't negate the fact that they've been around for millions of years, only that it hasn't yet gone extinct.
The Japanese caught the rotting carcass of a Basking Shark, not a "nessie", whatever you think that is.
I'd love to find that such things as Nessie, or Sasquatch, or even remnant dinosaur populations existed, but wishful thinking and hearsay isn't proof. And if a living dinosaur was found, it would only mean that a species has survived undetected, not that they didn't also exist millions of years ago.
Loch Ness isn't thought to support enough fish to sustain a population of large creatures.
