Two Volusia County Sheriff’s Office deputies help a stuck Mola Mola fish.

The pair hoped into action to save the large, flat fish stuck in a shallow area near Ponce Inlet.

The deputies used a lasso to drag it from the shore.

The unique sea creature is also known as an ocean sunfish and can be quite big: 14 feet vertically and 10 feet horizontally and weighing about 5,000 pounds.

Experts say they eat jelly fish and usually don't pose a threat to humans.
