The Fisherman is a fictional character in SpongeBob SquarePants that parodies the average horror villain, being a literal fisherman that would hunt down fish and use his hook to pull them to the surface (presumably to a gruesome fate). He is the titular main antagonist of the fictional movie Fisherman 4: Attack of the Hook, which is shown in the episode "Don't Look Now".
Despite being a fully fictional character only seen in his titular film franchises Squidward used SpongeBob and Patrick's fear of the character to play a cruel prank on them by dressing up as the Fisherman and terrorizing them after they scared themselves stupid watching a Fisherman movie.
However, Squidward's prank backfired horribly when SpongeBob and Patrick became convinced the Fisherman had "ate" their "best friend" and viciously beat Squidward until he was flung out of the costume.
The Fisherman would later make a physical appearance in "The Night Patty", where he robs the Krusty Krab during the night shift and gets caught by SpongeBob. however, the other people in the restaurant say that he isn't a criminal and that he not only works there, but also that robbing the place at night is a tradition, and SpongeBob then apologizes to the Fisherman. The Fisherman accepts the apology and shows respect to SpongeBob for his fishing skills, and he then introduces SpongeBob as the newest member of the night shift, despite mispronouncing his name.
At the end of the night shift, the Fisherman leaves along with everyone else that worked there, except SpongeBob, however, everyone that SpongeBob met during the night shift, including the Fisherman, are revealed to be illusions created by The Tidal Zone.
Trivia[]
He is based on Benjamin Willis, the main antagonist of the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" films (despite the fact SpongeBob is often considered a children's show it frequently references adult material, such as the Fisherman though obviously toned down so as not to actually scare children or offend parents).
