From previous discussion, he claims to want the first "blobfish" on or after line 51. While this could be done with the line number match, it seemed clearer to use a range.

But maybe try the line number match anyway, the pattern should be like '\%51l\_.\{-}\zsblobfish' (untested), which should match any number of characters including line endings on or after line 51, as few as possible until "blobfish" is encountered, and set the start of match to the start of "blobfish".
