A lunker is a term commonly used in fishing to describe a large or exceptionally big fish, typically of a particular species. It's often used to refer to trophy-sized fish that are considered noteworthy or impressive catches due to their size, weight, or rarity. Anglers often use the term "lunker" to describe fish that exceed certain size thresholds or are significantly larger than average specimens for a given species. The term is especially popular among freshwater anglers, particularly when targeting popular gamefish such as bass, trout, or pike, but it can be applied to fish of any species that are considered large or exceptional catches.
