"Big Fish" has a double meaning, also referring to fishermen who swear they caught a huge fish... but really it wasn't that big. In other words, tall tales, which was Edward Bloom's thing.

It comes from the saying "a big fish in a small pond"--ie someone important in their community, who stands out as the biggest and best.

If you are a big fish it means you are important or influential in some way - at work, or in your community.
