This noun denotes the catch or haul of fish—the prey taken in hunting or fishing. In Luke 5, it appears twice in the miraculous catch of fish: Jesus tells Peter to let down nets for a catch (5:4), and they enclosed such a large catch that their nets began to break (5:9). The word emphasizes result—not the act of fishing but the successful take, the fish hauled in. It's the reward of the hunt, the quarry captured. In Luke's narrative, the overwhelming catch becomes a sign that draws Peter to follow Jesus and become a fisher of men.
