“...Should we reckon ol’ St. Peter would be mighty proud of you both?...”
You’re a hoot!
Sometimes Peter used a HOOK.
Other times he used a NET.
Repent and Believe.
(spelling corrected!)
I can say accurately, and honestly, that when fishing for market fish, I have done likewise.
Otherwise, there is no record of that I know of, of Peter having used anything but nets. The same nets which were mentioned at one juncture, that he was then asked to leave. Seems to me that upon later occasions, he went back again to using nets to literally (not figuratively) catch (literal, not figurative) fish. As far as I can tell, it was no sin for him to have done so, I suppose I should here add.
Can you show me where it may be written that the apostle Peter used a hook? While you're at it, could you explain further what you were possibly intending to mean when alleging that Peter "used a hook"?
The way your having said "Peter used a HOOK", came across to me, in context with the rest of the conversation here (including comments & replies of among others) as if you possibly intended to suggest that it is ok nowadays to [figuratively speaking, of course] use a lariat, and force conversion upon whoever could be roped into it. (?)
Or else -- using 'a hook', dangling bait that would appear attractive to a fish -- but-- holds a secret weapon, a fully intended trickery, even --- is that the right way to be a 'fisher of men'?
We have no such tradition, not one coming from Christ's own apostles.
