There are two men fishing from a rowboat on a lake. One man has a fishing rod in hand and is pulling back because he has caught another man on his line. The man who is caught wears a suit with briefcase and is halfway out of the water. The other man in the boat is looking at the caught man and is talking.
It is unusual for a man to be caught on a line like a fish. It's also unusual for a man to be wearing a suit with briefcase in a lake.
Why is a man in a suit in the lake and caught on a line? What is the fisherman saying?
Nice catch, son, now close the deal.

A play on the term "catch" --- usually, a "nice catch" in the context of fishing would be a literal big fish. But here, the father is congratulating the son on a big "catch" in the business sense, i.e., a valuable client that one is competing to attract the attention of --- going one step further, the child is encouraged to "close the [business] deal". It's funny in part because it takes a wholesome fishing trip and makes it into a more ruthless introduction to the business world for the child.
