An angler claims to have caught a fish on his penis after swimming naked in a Russian river.

A video purports to show the macho fisherman emerging from the water with a grayling attached to his manhood.

Moments earlier he had plunged into a pool he his friend said was teeming with fish .

Commentary on the video says: "This is a polar region - the land of tough fishermen and strong nibbles."

The man with the camera, called Alexei, warned: "Be careful there. There is a hole there underwater.

"I've just caught some grayling there. Take care."

The naked angler answers: "I'm not afraid of them."

He plunges into the water but in a few seconds began to swear as the fish got attached to his 'bait'.

The angler runs out of the water, covering his groin with his hands, evidently with a live fish attached.

"Look what I've caught on my 'worm'. F***! It could bite it off, f***."

The fish is shown later on the ground after he removed it.
