Perhaps, but how long can a small fish survive out of the water? One minute? I think that is possible.

How far can a bird fly in a minute?

Surviving a drop to the water?

My kingfishers sit on branches that are 6 to 10 feet off the water all the time. That's nothing for a fish to fall. Heck, it wasn't that long ago someone posted an old advertisement of stocking remote lakes by dropping fish from planes.
