record catch
Best fish ever
A record catch is a fish or haul that surpasses all previous documented catches, whether by size, weight, or quantity: He landed a record catch—a 47-pound striped bass.
The phrase appears in fishing contexts from casual anglers pursuing personal bests to official state and world records.
Extended to other domains, it can describe any exceptional retrieval or acquisition: The DEA announced a record catch of fentanyl at the border.
