The video shows his poll bent nearly in half.
Hillary Clinton says she's going to fight that poll. For you.

I need to catch a fish with a lawnmower or maybe a paintbrush.

Hey, it's Florida. Even the fish need protection.

I think it's a typo. It was supposed to read winch or wench. The news industry has all but eliminated editors.

This guy got lucky. As every mechanic knows, you can't normally catch grouper with a regular no. 11 wrench. A torque wrench with a gauge-reading of between 158 and 210 foot-pounds, applied ..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Final paragraph "His next plan is to attach hooks to forks or a butter/knife..."

Why did the fish have a wrench?

The socket salmon are worried.

Hand grenades are more effective when fishing.

Poorly written article. Do you use standard or metric wrenches?

It was 11mm--you can see it on the video. Don't know why he said "A lot of mechanics know that you don't really use an 11 for anything". Sounds like he doesn't even know what it is.

MOTW, I saw a comment on another story where they said stories like that just board them and they wish they'd quit putting boaring stories on that site. I wanted to find them and hit them with a board. If someone would come forward and state they were running for president and their first priorty would be to make mistakes like that a felony I would definitely vote for them. In fact I'd probably vote for them more than once. Dave?

I've used an 11mm, but it's been a long time since I've seen a Group W Wrench.

I am beginning to understand. You fish for grouper using an 11MM metric box end wrench and a big poll. When you catch one, you wrench it in using a wench. Then you filet it on a wooden bored. Nursecindy is right, lots of misteakes in writing nowadays and I'm glad it's nearly happy hour.....

@nursecindy: here hear!

"I've used an 11mm, but it's been a long time since I've seen a Group W Wrench."

Could be worse: could be the Group W bench. That's a place for crazy people such as mother rapers and father stabbers. And father rapers and mother stabbers.
