The Fish by Elizabeth Bishop

First off i would like to say that this poem was one of the most descriptive and detailed poems i have ever read.  From the beginning to the end the fisher in the poem admired what he/she called a tremendous fish (1). As the fisher held the large fish up to the boat they notice the fish didnt fight at all (6) this was interesting to me for the simple fact that fish usually panic when out of water. The way the poet described the body and imagined the insides was amazing. The poet really was fascinated by this fish. When the poet went on to describe the hooks latched onto the side of the big fishes mouth (52-55) I kno that fisher felt good knowing they had caught a fish that had once got away. I feel this is why the fisher decided to let the fish go (76).
