We don't exactly know much about fishing, though respect it can be fun and interesting to those who are fond of getting down to a lake at 5am and sitting there for 12 or so hours.
There are all sorts of different types of fishing, for example you can fish to catch food, which seems productive and beneficiary and we get that. Then there are the people who catch a fish, get it out, look at it, take a picture to put on Facebook, think 'damn that's a good fish' and release it back into the wild. Which seems less productive and beneficiary.
Judging at how unappetizing and bitey this fish looks, I gather this was not gathered for food, unless this was actually caught by those on The Island with Bear Grylls, who would just about eat anything. Not that they ever caught anything.
Whatever, whoever caught this horrible little fish probably didn't expect to fish a snake from inside its belly too.
That's the food chain right there, can snakes even swim? Yes, they are called water moccasins.
As a pastime, fishing isn't really one that is known for its theatrics or surprises. At most a larger fish than you expected to catch could take your bait and the adrenaline may surge through your body for at least ten, maybe even 20, seconds.
But let's be honest, unless you're Deagol and Smeagol fishing in the Gladden river and happen to stumble across the one ring to rule them all, then most angling trips are going to be largely the same.
During Adam Broadbent's venture onto the Leeds and Liverpool Canal near Bingley, West Yorkshire, he didn't find a ring that could dominate Middle Earth, but rather something that could dominate a few rings.
Adam and his mate were enjoying a spot of spin fishing, hoping to net some pike, but somehow ended up finding a 12-inch dildo latching onto their bait.
There wasn't a vagina attached to the end of their line or anything, just your average stuff, but the sex-toy clung on hard and put up a fight before being reeled out of the water.
"It's the greatest thing I've ever caught," dad-of-two Adam said. "When I pulled it out of the water I just went: 'Oh my God'.
"Usually you get a bit of a tug on the line and it's just a fish, a branch or some debris. This was something else. I couldn't believe it."
The foot-long catch was a little meatier than what you can buy in Subway, and certainly wasn't shy when it comes to girth.

Leisure centre boss Adam, despite seeing the funny side of his catch, decided he'd dispose of the toy in some nearby bushes rather than take it home to his fiancée.
"George tried to hang it up on a fence but a woman came out and told us she didn't want it near her garden," he said. "I asked if it was hers but she said I was cheeky and told me to bugger off. We were in stitches.
"We got a few dodgy looks along the canal path from people probably wondering what two blokes were doing with a toy like that.
"I actually chucked it back in the net to keep it out of sight a couple of times. I didn't know what to do with it.
"It's in a bush somewhere now. I could hardly bring it home. I wouldn't want to have to explain it really."
It would have been a monumental story to explain to his missus - but I reckon 'I caught it while fishing' wouldn't have cut the mustard.

I'm sure that the majority of people are rather intrigued as to how the dildo originally ended up in the canal, but, sadly, we'll never know. At this point it's plausible to assume that Aqua Man got slightly too intimate with Princess Ariel, but upon the realisation that sex toys are futile when it comes to mermaids, threw it in a fit of rage.
