A 13-year-old boy was impaled in neck by sharp spine when fish wiggled in mother’s hand as she joked about fish giving son a kiss

What seemed like harmless fun involving a live catfish nearly turned deadly when the sharp spine of a catfish impaled a 13-year-old boy in the neck, coming just a couple of centimeters from puncturing a main artery. “I thought I was going to die,” Aiden Menchaca told KATV of the incident during a Father’s Day fishing outing in Maumelle, Arkansas.
Melissa Menchaca, Aiden’s mother, was joking around as she held the slippery catfish near her son.
“I wanted to give him a kiss,” she explained. “He got nervous, the fish flopped, and it smacked him on the neck.”
Aiden said it didn’t hurt until he realized the sharp spine was in his neck.
