    It's on pages 109-110 in Eclipse. Yes, Bella is meant as the fish, while Edward is the eagle. Jacob is offended when Bella said the eagle is good looking because he thinks she is really talking about Edward.

    Then it (the eagle) flapped away, its wings straining against the load of the huge fish it had snagged.

    "You see it everywhere," Jacob said, his voice suddenly distant. "Nature taking it's course - hunter and prey, the endless cycle of life and death."

    I didn't understand the point of the nature lecture; I guessed that he was trying to change the subject. But then he looked down at me with dark humor in his eyes.

    "And yet, you don't see the fish trying to plant a kiss on the eagle. You never see that." He grinned a mocking grin.

    I grinned back tightly, though the acid taste was still in my mouth. "Maybe the fish was trying," I suggested. "It's hard to tell what a fish is thinking. Eagles are good-looking birds, you know."

    "Is the what it comes down to?" His voice was abruptly sharper. "Good looks?"

    "Don't be stupid, Jacob."

    "Is it the money, then?" he persisted.

    "That's nice," I muttered, getting up from the tree. "I'm flattered that you think so much of me." I turned my back on him and paced away.

    "Aw, don't get mad." He was right behind me.

    its when jake and bella see the eagle in la push and they compare ti to edward and bella

    edit: bella is considered the fish and edward is the eagle because edward can so easily kill bella as the eagle can easily kill the fish
