The catch

I entered this contest to write "… a whole story/essay in just FIFTY FIVE WORDS!" because it looked like a fun, and a good writing excersize. I've posted my entry below. I'm not sure what this passage means, but here it is:

She had fished with her father for years, but she'd never seen a creature like this. It lay before her, their fates intertwined. Its gaze made her giggle and blush, like a school girl, like the first time. She trembled. What a wonderful gift to share with her lover over a fine bottle of wine.

Any ideas what it means?

Hmmm. If it is a big white fish, then white wine would be appropriate. What goes with salmon--a rose'? Maybe she found Nemo.

Give a woman a fish and she'll eat for a day.
Teach a woman to fish and she'll eat for a lifetime...
