Once missed a smallmoth bass ~ 2 lbs. on a yellow-tailed rubber worm in the Musky. Pulled the hook and worm out of her mouth trying to set the hook. My son with with me and wanted to keep some fish to eat. I continued fishing and caught another bass, ~ 1 1/2 lbs - then another around 2 lbs - both within 10 minutes of each other.
When my son got home and cleaned the fish he found the tail of the rubber worm in the second fishes gullet. - So - this guy only waited 10 minutes after getting almost hooked, yanked 2 feet out of the water, and escaping to feed again.
