Well you flip the fish so it is head first down your sinuosity and use its streamline shape against it... It swims all the way down!

Yes! I was being a bit tongue in cheek, but you're absolutely right. In fact, I saw this heron do just that...flip a caught small panfish from sideways to headfirst, then down the hatch. Not so photogenic, because water greens obscured the catch; at least it had some salad with the main course.

That IS interesting. Thanks for the post and images. Makes sense that the S configuration facilitates striking power, similar to some snakes that S their body before striking prey.
