They can't all be hits.

Those of you who have been following this forum for some time know that I have been following the feeding behavior of a juvenile Lysiosquillina sulcata male. I collected it on Moorea in 1992 and have been photographing its strikes for nearly three years. The animal is now about 12 cm total length and gets an average of one or two damsels a week. Some of the catches have been pretty good, but I took this near miss a couple of days ago and think it is now one of my favorites - a least from the fish's perspective!
