The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant

This short story was really enjoyable, but I couldn't see the connection between the bass and Sheila. I was kind of confused when they were in the canoe. I thought that Sheila Mant was his dream date. I didn't know why he would be more interested in catching bass even though his passion was for fishing. Although,I was kind of confused when they were in the canoe. It was really funny that they ended up have a connection at the end. I really enjoyed this because the sensory connections and details throughout it.
