A play on the term "catch and release", which refers to the process of returning fish to the water after a fisherman catches them. Catch sounds like "kitsch", which refers to objects with poor aesthetics, but are ironically appreciated: such an object would be a mounted game fish (or the even kitschier, Big Mouth Billy Bass toy), which one of the fish has been transformed into by the fisherman instead of just catch-and-releasing him.
