Angler hooks German's todger at nudist lake
A plucky German nudist out for a swim at a local lake was left in agony after an angler hooked his worm. Herbert Fendt - an alias the embarrassed man adopted to spare his family's blushes - was taking a dip in the Kaisersee, near Augsburg in south-eastern Germany, when the tackle-on-tackle action occurred. Initially the man …

"Ouch!"
Indeed, I bet that made him flounder, but he doesn't seem to carping on about it too much. I wouldn't swap plaices with him though.
Having said that, maybe he shouldn't have been quite so koi when shouting at the angler, who must have been reely hard-of-herring. The only ray of light I can see in this dory is that the barb got his rod instead of his pollocks - that would really require the attentions of a sturgeon...

"Isn't Fendt a nickname for a little boy? "
Maybe it's the German equivalent of the English "John Thomas"?
Robert Heinlein's use of that name recursively in "The Star Beast" (1954) allowed him to have a closing joke - that the long-lived alien princess's hobby "had been raising several generations of John Thomases".

Re: "cycled home before he drove to the hospital"...?
Leave it to two Germans to start a general discussion of the finer legal details of open air recreation regulation, while both are holding their rods (one bleeding. the other attached by wire to the first).
Speaking of getting back on your bike, I was more impressed by the English cyclist in series 3 ep 2 of "an hour to save your life" on iplayer --- faceplant in a cattle grid on a solo winter ride over the Pennines, lose a handful of teeth (but not swallow any), cycle a few miles to nearest pub to ask for the air ambulance, be quite relaxed about it all throughout, then a few hours later have a massive stroke as oh, actually, in the initial crash an artery in your neck was slashed and a clot came loose...

Nope,
I am quite sure it isn't. You might be referring to the Dutch "vent", which indeed would be meaning "young man". That would not work though, the best bet would be to use "ventje" (Little boy).
As written: He used "Fendt" as a nickname to spare himself and his family the blame. Fendt is widely known in Germany though: As a manufacturer of agricultural machines ... as in "John Deere".
So maybe he did think about his nickname and the size of his todger? (Well, that's how men are, innit: They always seem bigger than they really are...)

Angry Anglers on The Cut
"the fisherman wasn't sympathetic to his plight"
I often used to paddle (kayak) on the Grand Union Canal, anglers would sit on one bank with their float right over the other side, then to hurl abuse at kayakers as they passed, as if they should otherwise wait until the fisherman had finished for the day.
I'm sure that's not the case for any anglers on this forum though! ;)

Re: Just in case anyone needs to know...
That's all fine so long as the barb is sticking out. If it's embedded then you're going to need to push it further through first so that you can get to the barb, ouch. My preferred method would be to get a load of local anaesthetic in there and maybe take a swig of rum before biting down on something and letting a doctor sort it out. If that means cycling very carefully to the hospital, fine.

Let's be honest
Did anyone else's todger retract all the way into their groin (and then some) as they read this? Yikes! This is WAY worse than the fishhook scene in "There's Something About Mary." MAYBE it's on a par with the zipper scene...
But on a more serious note, the ISO clearly needs to come out with a new universally recognizable graphical sign warning nude bathers of this specific danger. And one for testicle-munching pacu, too. And one for the candiru. In fact, what have those goldbrickers at ISO been up to lately, while innocent todgers are beset with perils on all sides?

I know his pain
I had a biking accident where the seat broke loose while I was braking, causing me to grab the brakes instinctively which pitched me over the front. Not really sure how it happened but a couple of spokes had broken and one stabbed me in the scrotum through my shorts. Luckily not too much blood and no obvious damage to the valuables inside. I had to cycle home over 10km standing on my bike the entire way due to the broken seat, and from there drove to the emergency room. I was stitched up after an ultrasound revealed no serious damage had been done. Still have a scar if I look hard enough.

Swimming in a Fishing Lake!
WTF... How does someone choose to swim in a lake belonging to a fishing club and expect to not have a mishap???!!! This man most likely has less brains than the fish being caught in the lake!
I would like to see that guy try nude swimming in the fishing lakes up in Northern Canada that are full of Great Northern Pike. He would have a much bigger problem than getting a fish hook stuck in to a critical place! He would be running out of the water with maybe some pieces of skin missing.
You can fix a lot of things with a hammer, but with a hammer no matter how many times you pound it down you cannot fix stupidity!
