heavy hitters

English to French Social Sciences Journalism Fishing/ Newspaper Report
As it happens, **the heavy hitters** Mr. Z had encountered in the woods that rain-spattered day more than a year ago were workers at the state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Fall Creek Hatchery. They were killing hatchery-raised coho salmon, part of a program aimed at ending production of coho at the hatchery and at rethinking the state’s approach to fish hatcheries in general.
