Guy gets speared through the face during illegal fishing trip

A guy in Brazil is lucky to be alive after taking a fishing spear to the face. Yikes.

27-year-old Hugo Periera da Silva, was on a fishing trip with a friend and it appeared his mate wasn't really paying attention and accidentally speared his mate through face. The spear entered where the lower jaw is connected to the upper and exited through his cheek. Just a few inches higher and this dude would have been fish bait.

Authorities are now investigating the fishing trip, since it’s illegal to use harpoons from November through February in Brazil. So not only does this dude get a gigantic spike trough his head but he's also facing a fine. Ouch! Bad luck!
