Attractive deer fed fish I reeled up (8)
I believe the answer is:
kissable
'up' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kissable that I've seen before include "Dishy" , "asking to be bussed?" , "Rather alluring" .)
