Which three words or phrases in this excerpt from Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish" compare the fish to an old, experienced soldier?

A green line, frayed at the end where he broke it, two heavier lines, and a fine black thread still crimped from the strain and snap when it broke and he got away. Like medals with their ribbons frayed and wavering, a five-haired beard of wisdom trailing from his aching jaw. I stared and stared and victory filled up the little rented boat, from the pool of bilge where oil had spread a rainbow

Like medals with ribbons frayed and wavering: the fish got away and survived, and now as an experienced soldier waves his medals with ribbons.

beard of wisdom trailing from aching jaw: an old soldier that was injured, moving slowly on the ground.

victory: this is the goal of a soldier after the fight. In this case was the fish that <em>was finally caught "filling up the little boat."</em>
