recolhe o peixe / atrai a presa
Ou algo de sentido semelhante a uma das duas, dependendo do que melhor encaixe no contexto.
reel in someone/something
1. to attract someone or something. Car dealers have to work harder to reel in customers when the economy is in bad shape.
2. to pull someone or something toward you. We snagged the alligator near its tail and reeled it in. Rob took his hand, reeled him in, and gave him a big hug.
Etymology: from the use of a reel (= an object shaped like a wheel) used to pull in the fishing line when a fish is caught
