This was the painful moment a bungling fisherman had to have one of his own hooks removed from his head.<br /><br />Daan van Dijk, 46, was angling for carp at Lac du Salagou in the south of France when he had the accident on September 30. <br /><br />The angler had prepared several lines with bait and large metal hooks when he was distracted by a friend as he prepared to cast one.<br /><br />Daan’s shaved head was struck by the hook, which pierced his skin and came back out through the skin - firmly snagging him when he had been hoping for a large fish.<br /><br />Luckily, his friend Arjan Castelijns was on hand and had to carefully remov the sharp hook from his head. <br /><br />Daan, who is from Noord-Brabant, Netherlands, was taking a holiday at the time and said it was an ‘’embarrassing accident’’.<br /><br />He said: ‘’Thankfully my friend was a good doctor and he could help me out.<br /><br />‘’It was a bit of an embarrassing accident and I’ll take more care in the future.’'
