For you non-American baseballers, another name would be "Have a Longneck on Me," for Budweiser longneck beer bottles..

Excellent timing. It seems you won't need the 20fps of the new Sony to capture the moment!

Absolutely stunning. Nicely done.
Want to share some of the technical details :)

Thanks. I love these guys as they have extraordinarily long necks that can extend almost twice their rested length in a millisecond. Their hunting intensity is a absolute study in patience and concentration. I should live so long as to acquire this skill but them I am not overly fond of minnows, so that will be for another round on this planet.

This was shot from a slow-moving boat so timing the shot was as much serendipitous as it was timing. I've also attached a shot that exemplifies this total concentration.
