Have you considered the nuanced differences between the expressions "fishers of men" and "hunters of men?"

Well, He was speaking to fishermen. :) But what do you mean?

One gathers in by net or line, frequently by using an attractant...the other ambushes, usually, or stalks...For the most part fishing, you cast out, and bring in what you don’t see...hunters aim at targets they can see...
Definitely a nuance difference. One is done blindly, letting God bring the fish in. One is done by sight, using man’s ability to see...
As a metaphor, one casts out, and lets God bring the person to the net. If one was hunting, Man would be in charge...
