Fin-Tastically Funny: Florida Man Catches And Steals Large Tarpon From Bass Pro Shops' Tanks
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."
We like that the post is already lying for the 'Bass Pro Bandit' and saying the fish is 50 pounds. Even if he is caught he has the foundation for a great story. He can say it weighs more than it did and probably lie about how tall it was as well. By propping the bandit up, is that user guilty of aiding and 'a-bait-ing'? *insert drum roll: ba-dum-dum-tss* This is one of the more bizarre retail theft videos we’ve seen. 🤣 It is bizarre, but it is also Florida and to be honest, we have to agree with Twitchy's own, Grateful Calvin ( see his post below), this story is not as wild as some of the things that we have seen come out of Florida. Let us remind you that Carole Baskin of 'Tiger King' fame was in Florida. Need we say more?
