fisherman
Works with nets
A fisherman is a person who catches fish, whether commercially or for sport.
The term applies to professionals working on boats and to hobbyists casting lines from docks or riverbanks.
The fishermen hauled in their nets at dawn.
Though fisherman remains common, fisher has gained ground as a gender-neutral alternative.
