I would say the answer is Vincent Price's short horror story antholoy Escapes.
In the opening segment, a teenager receives a strange tape and decides to watch it. Vincent Price appears and announces that we are going to see six horror stories. The first, “Something’s Fishy,” involves a man out fishing on a lake. He sees an apple on the shore and decides to eat it, but it turns out the mysterious fruit is not quite what it seems and the man winds up on a hook pulled into the water.

There was an earlier BW short film (1960s?) about a fisherman on a beach who bites into a sandwich and is dragged into the ocean. I believe it was shot at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. It’s much better than “Sometning Fishy.” I believe I saw it at the Playhouse in Sausalito with “The Birds” when it was new.
