According to De Telegraaf newspaper the diver, Wim van Huffelen, was finning about not far from the shore near Zierikzee, in southern Holland, when he felt a stinging sensation on his lip.
When he felt around his mouth, he realised that he had been snared by a fishing line. Taking hold of the line so that the angler could not pull on it and harm him further, he surfaced and made towards the shore to present the angler, a 13-year-old boy, with the shock of his life!
van Huffelen was able to make his way to hospital to have the hook removed.
