Crossword Genius

God presents trophy to fish (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cupid

'god' is the definition.
(Cupid is an example)

'trophy to fish' is the wordplay.
'trophy' becomes 'cup' (cup is a kind of trophy).
'to fish' becomes 'id' (type of fish).
'cup'+'id'='CUPID'

'presents' is the link.

(Other definitions for cupid that I've seen before include "Tiny archer as Roman god of love" , "armed youth" , "heathen god" , "Match-making archer" , "Roman god of love, child archer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
