Fishing is a well-loved pastime in the UK, as it is seen as a very relaxing way to spend a couple of hours.<\/p>\n
However, an angler was left reeling in the wrong type of catch after his latest excursion went horribly wrong.<\/p>\n
After Steve Redhead got his rod stuck in a tree, he pulled the line and few times before it flew back 50 feet and lodged in the side of his face.<\/p>\n
Initially, he thought the lead weight had just grazed him, until one of his friends pointed out that it had gone through his cheek.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the incident, Mr Redhead said: "I'm very lucky. It could have killed me. Had it gone through my mouth it would have probably gone straight through and out the back of my head."<\/p>\n
Something tells me that the next time his line gets snagged he'll just cut it, rather than try to pull it free.<\/p>\n
