A nudist swimming in a lake screamed, ‘Do not pull! Do not pull!’ after an angler cast his hook – and ‘caught’ the tip of his penis.

Herbert Fendt first thought that he had caught on some water plants – but quickly realised it was far too painful for that, and his penis was in fact impaled on a fishing hook.

He was swimming in the Kaisersee in the Bavarian city of Augsburg in Germany.
Fendt said, ‘I cried out to the fisherman ashore shouting, ‘Do not pull! Do not pull!’. I was terrified he was going to try to reel me in.

Fendt had to cycle home with the fishing hook still embedded in his manhood – then drove to hospital to have it removed.

Fendt said, ‘The fisherman told me it is not an official bathing lake and he has the right to fish at the spot, which is marked by some signs. I tried to explain to him that he should take into account the many swimmers who use the lake, and that I am unaware of any official prohibition to swim here but he did not care.’
