They were surely sucked out. Always use a guard on the end as even a
larger fish can get stuck to the end and die.

Good advice. I use an old silk stocking slipped over the end. Great for
vaccing sand aswell.....
===========================
I find the window screen is stiff enough to make a nice loose ball that
spreads the suction out and nothing can get stuck to the intake. I tried a
stocking and it was sucked into the hose itself. A fish can then get stuck
right through the stocking. But that was just my experience with
stockings.
