Swallowing a Fish the Wrong Way

What happens when a snake tries to swallow a fish backwards?  As you can see above, the fins stick out and prevent an easy swallow.  I'm not sure what happened eventually, because watching a snake eat is really slllloooowwww, but I did discover on-line that fish will regurgitate food that doesn't go down, or when they have eaten a big meal and need to escape a predator quickly.  Who knew?
