These Fishing Fails are Painfully Funny

Fishing fails are funny, but only when they happen to someone else.

Featured in this video are a series of clips in which people hooked themselves instead of the fish. Check it out and be glad it wasn't you who got hooked.

Mistakes happen, especially when there are sharp hooks, tight lines, and violent fish to deal with. These fishing fails are probably some of the most cringe-induceing kind you can find.

Did you see how most of the people knew the proper way to remove the fish hook? They knew you had to push the barb all the way through, push down the barb, then back it out.

On your next fishing trip bring the camera and record everything. You might be able to add another chapter to the ever-growing content of fishing fails.
