Peter Inskip, 42, had to be cut off his own line after a two-inch lead weight shot through his neck and lodged at the top of his chest.
The dad-of-one was fishing for carp at a lake near his home when he tried to cast his line out into the water.
As he went to flick it forward, the missile-shaped weight caught in undergrowth behind him.
Instead of untangling it, the frustrated fisherman tugged as hard as he could.
It broke free and rocketed towards him — going straight into his skin “like a bullet”.
Shocked Peter staggered to a nearby house to get help. Paramedics cut the fishing line before rushing him to hospital.
The engineer said: “I could see the line hanging out of a perfectly formed hole.
“It was still attached to my rod, which was in my hand, and I could feel the weight in the back of my throat.
“It really was the most strange feeling — I had caught myself.

Dang! Can you imagine calling the wife to tell her all you caught was a huge medical bill? On the bright side, he probably owns the most expensive fishing weight ever!

LoL fish don't have the part of the brain that registers feeling the way we feel. They can't "feel" being caught. The feel pressure, not pain. If you hook a fish and then just let it "swim" it will rest with the hook in its mouth and not think twice. Well not think at all. HA. Fish don't have feelings.

its always fun when youre trying to save your stuff when it gets caught in a tree and then it slingshots back at you and you have to dive out of the way to avoid being mamed and whatnot.

Ouch, that sounds painful. How on earth was the thing able to produce enough momentum to puncture his neck? Bloody hell...
