We here at Twitchy LOVE a good 'Florida Man' story.

We love them ALMOST as much as we love puns so when one of our buddies tipped us off to this one we KNEW it was going to be absolutely 'FIN-TASTIC'.

We are going to warn you upfront, there will be puns.

Lots of puns.

So let's 'Dive' right in.

-- Florida police are searching for a man who 'caught' a 50-pound tarpon from a Bass Pro Shops' fish tank.

Only in Florida!

Lee County Sheriff's Office is searching for a suspect who walked off with a tarpon in a fishing net.

"Somebody came up to me holding a scale of a tarpon and said: 'Look, somebody just stole a tarpon,'" said a store employee.

"I couldn't believe it, honestly.

I don't understand why they'd do that, and it was just so shocking to me that somebody would stoop low enough to do that."
