I don't know. I guess I understood the sentence with 'landed' the same as I would have if someone told me that they'd 'landed a big job'. I wouldn't really say this myself though, although I hear people say 'landed a big catch' when they're talking about fishing.
- treis 7y agoLanded, with this meaning, is used in the context of successfully enticing someone to give you something. Like hooking a fish with bait.
- mod 7y agoFWIW, Landing a fish is not the same as hooking it. Landing a fish literally means pulling it to land (or boat). So landing=catching=scoring. Depending on the type of fishing, you can still be an underdog to land the fish after hooking it.
