A Volusia County deputy stepped into shallow waters to save a massive sunfish that was stuck in a shoreline, Monday afternoon.
The fish easily weighed over 5,000 pounds .
But after some tugs, pulls, and even with the help of a rope at one point, the deputy managed to wiggle the fish free, pushing it to sea.
Sunfish are known for being clumsy swimmers.
