The phrase "enjoying swift repletion," as used in line 22, probably means that the fish:

1. are in a state of being sated, i.e., filled to capacity.
2. seem to enjoy eating after a long fast.
3. digest their prey very quickly.
4. continue to hunt for food even after devouring their prey.

Repletion means the state of being full or being gorged with food or drink.
