Chalk this up to another case of “any story with a shark in it must be worth reporting.”

A St. Petersburg man made the news by driving around with the carcass of a bull shark in the back of his pickup truck this weekend. According to WTSP-10, Josh Lipert of St. Petersburg, caught the 8.5′ bull shark around 2:00 on Saturday morning and was spotted later in the day driving with the shark’s carcass in the bed of his truck by a photojournalist who snapped a photo of the dead shark, which somehow turned into this “news story.”
