Answer 1

Wiktionary:

釣凱子

(slang) to pick up men; to hit on a man

Answer 2

凯子 is street slang for a man who is 1) an older person with money to spend. The person is fond of and easily seduced by women (especially young women) and willing to use money/gift exchange for his pleasure, usually sexually oriented. 2) a young fellow from a rich family. The person will willingly spend money and cover the expense incurred by the so-called friends/brothers he met on the street to show off his generosity towards friends and gain the "number one" position in the group.

钓 is "fishing", "钓到凯子了" is saying - "got a fish (凯子)" through fishing.
