What does 《 We landed the whale 》 mean?
For those who already watched the movie called Extraction, it's the said by woman at the beginning ( I can't tell what's her name because I haven't watched the rest yet).

I can't tell the full context, but it sounds like it means: they received a contract for a mission that will pay lots of money
"Landed the whale" usually means they got something important that was hard to get
For example: "Our company got the government contract, we landed a huge whale"

@skylerhamilton09 You're welcome. The meaning is most likely they got a well-paying contract
