[Star Wars] In the novelization of ROTJ, Jabba boasts to Luke that he "Hunted Jedi when being a Jedi meant something" Is that true?

Remember that Jabba is very old. Yoda old. But a younger Hutt is a ball of muscle, they are immensely strong. Their hide can take blaster bolts. They are surprisingly nimble and quick in short bursts, like a crocodile.

And they are smart. Not so much booksmart, as cunning.

So Jabba could have fought Jedi. It isn't unknown for exceptional non-Force users to take down a Jedi. Maybe not a Master, but a tough and determined Hutt willing to fight dirty could do it.

Then again, Jabba is probably just talking smack, trying to scare Luke.
