Catch the captain (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hook

I believe this is a double definition.

'catch' is the first definition.
(I know that hook is a type of catch)

'captain' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the' is the link.

(Other definitions for hook that I've seen before include "One baited for fish" , "It's bent to catch or hold" , "Attacking shot" , "Short swinging punch" , "Bad golf shot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
