trophy fishing
Angling for giants
Trophy fishing is angling aimed at catching exceptionally large or impressive specimens rather than fish for eating.
The goal is a fish worth mounting or photographing—a trophy to display or boast about.
Trophy fishers often practice catch and release, returning the fish alive after documenting the catch: He spent years trophy fishing for marlin in the Gulf.
