St. Petersburg, Florida, resident Ryan Hein says he “couldn’t believe” that he was able to pull in a 400-pound Goliath grouper with nothing more than a homemade jig, two hooks, and a number-11 wrench.
“A lot of mechanics know that you don’t really use an 11 for anything,” Hein said. “At least I never have.”

What’s a number 11 wrench? I’ve heard of an 11 mm wrench, but not a number 11.

If he didn’t release it, he should clean it and eat it, every last little bit.

Was just a regular 11 millimeter open end/box end wrench.

It was an 11mm open/box wrench with the hooks and line tied to the closed end.. It’s shiny and got the fishes attention.

I’d be more impressed if he used a #11 fly hook. Bait dunker.

11 mm is a very odd size of wrench. I don’t think I have one or have ever had need of one.

I don’t remember much about the 11mm use rate, but if you DON’T have it, you’ll need it. Just Murphy’s law in action...

Grouper is a quite a tasty fish. I figure he would have an easy time selling it off the boat if he knew where to go.

Does that mean if he didn’t release the fish, it’s a crime?

Grouper the size of red snapper or sea bass, I would agree. Don’t know about a 400 lb monster, tho.

Yes you will.....
But just substitute your trusty 7/16 wrench. Same size.

Too bad he didn’t let it go. Those big guys are fishing’s equivalent of the 800-lb gorilla and always get the best spawning grounds and babes.
