This is the sentence that best conveys Woolf's feelings about the violence of fishing. In this sentence, she describes what seeing the fish was like, and how the fish behaved. We learn that after a few tugs, the fish would be seen out of the water. She describes the fish as "twisting" and then as "slapping" on the floor. Both these actions are conveyed through the use of negative words.
