easton:

Fishing, the art of @ was prosecuted with great industry in the waters of Palestine. It was from the fishing-nets that Jesus called his disciples kjv@Mark:1:16-20), and it was in a fishing-boat he rebuked the winds and the waves kjv@Matthew:8:26) and delivered that remarkable series of prophecies recorded in kjv@Matthew:13. He twice miraculously fed multitudes with fish and bread kjv@Matthew:14:19 kjv@Matthew:15:36). It was in the mouth of a fish that the tribute-money was found kjv@Matthew:17:27). And he "ate a piece of broiled fish" with his disciples after his resurrection kjv@Luke:24:42-43; comp. kjv@Acts:1:3). At the Sea of Tiberias kjv@John:21:1-14), in obedience to his direction, the disciples cast their net "on the right side of the ship," and enclosed so many that "they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes." Two kinds of fishing-nets are mentioned in the New Testament:

(1.) The casting-net kjv@Matthew:4:18; kjv@Mark:1:16).

(2.) The drag-net or seine kjv@Matthew:13:48). Fish were also caught by the fishing-hook kjv@Matthew:17:27). (
