lunkers

Huge fish caught

Lunkers is fishing slang for exceptionally large fish, especially bass.

The term suggests trophy-worthy catches that would impress other anglers: We caught nothing but lunkers out there today.

A lunker is the kind of fish worth bragging about—the one that didn't get away.
