While she is playing softball, the narrator builds up the courage to ask his crush, Sheila Mant, out on a date to go to Dixford the next night at nine. He tells her that a band is coming to town and they can get there in his canoe.
Want to go to Dixford with me tomorrow night?
Sure! Meet me tonight at the Docks.
The narrator made sure to get to the Mants' dock early. He also brought his rod with him to catch some bass. However, he completely forgot about it at the beginning of their trip. As Sheila comes out to the dock, the narrator stares at her in awe.
She looks beautiful and perfect.
The narrator is starting to show off his knowledge about fishing. However, his crush thinks it is stupid, making him rethink his decisions. He chooses to hide his rod but realizes he has lured in a big bass as he was doing so.
I think fishing is silly and dumb.
Sheila Mant starts to get suspicious of the noises and movements of the boat. The narrator reassures that it is just nature and nothing is going on. He begins to debate if he should cut the line and let the fish go or not. Since he wanted to impress his crush, he decides to cut it and let the fish go.
Nothing. Just bats.
What's that noise?
The narrator barely remembers that night at the fair except when Sheila tells him that she is going home with Eric Caswell in his Corvette. She also calls him kid, showing the narrator where she stood with their relationship the entire time.
. . .
I'm going home with Eric Caswell.
In the end, the narrator got over his crush on Sheila Mant and painfully regretted letting the big bass go. He realizes that there will be other bass and girls like Sheila, but he has learned from that night and has never made that mistake again.
I really regret letting that fish go. . .but then again, *sigh*there are plenty more Bass and girls like Sheila Mant out there.
