ANGLING for an ER visit.
A pair of anglers have found themselves on the wrong end of the fishing line, after one hooked the other in the face. The men were fishing off the coast of Poland, when after joking about catching nothing during the trip, Bogdan Symanski felt a fiery pain in his cheek. “[My friend] had put out one last cast and there was this sudden tug on my mouth and then blinding pain,” he said. “There was blood everywhere, maybe if I’d kept my big mouth shut he would have missed me,” he added. A rescue boat took no time reaching the pair, quickly removing the hook and stemming the significant blood flow. “He was lucky it wasn’t a few inches higher or it would’ve taken his eye out,” said rescue medic Piotr Kroczynski.
