The sentence like this :" I was feeling the charge that comes when you're this close to landing a big one. It's like listening to a live concert and wanting to take to the stage and sing."
I wonder what is " the charge that when you're this close to landing a big one"? Is it a typical English?
Thank you!

excitement
"charge" in this particular context means 'excitement'.
'landing a big one' must be 'accomplishing something important'.

No, the sentence is rather informal; these are slang expressions.
