That never happens if you try for it in my experience. You could also aim for a net hit, but I've seen rescued ones so it's not a sure bet either. The top guys are so fucking quick it is unreal. They'd also catch on pretty quick to what you're doing so I doubt it'll be effective even if you succeed after a while.

But yes, apart from them fucking up, that's likely the only chance.
