kingfish
Large sport fish
Kingfish refers to several large game fish, particularly the king mackerel of Atlantic waters.
The word also means a powerful political boss or leader, especially in American politics—Huey Long of Louisiana was famously called "the Kingfish." More broadly, any dominant figure in a field: He's the kingfish around here.
