Shocking footage shows the moment a doctor removed an 18cm (seven inch) fish from a man's throat following a bizarre fishing accident in Colombia.

The 24-year-old man had been fishing at a lake in the municipality of Pivijay, located in the department of Magdalena, on Friday 23 January.

According to local media, he'd been out fishing for food for his family when he managed to catch a fish.

After grabbing it in his hands, he threw the line back into the water - at which point a second fish immediately bit his line.

With the first catch still in his hands, he wasn't sure what to do to avoid losing the other, so decided to place the original fish in his mouth while he reeled in the second.

As you can imagine, this did not end particularly well.

The moment he placed the fish inside his mouth, it moved to try and free itself - ending up lodging itself in the young man's throat.

The fisherman walked to Santander Herrera Hospital by himself, but was unable to explain to medics what had happened, as he was having difficulty breathing and couldn't speak properly.
