Character

The fishermen are two humans who appear as antagonists of the episode "Hooky" and made a cameo in "A Fish Called Sandy."

Description

They are live-action humans. In the opening scene, they appear as photos edited onto the image of Bikini Atoll. Later in the episode, independent film stars John Lurie and Jim Jarmusch cameo as the fishermen. The live-action scenes used for these people are archive recordings from the 1991 television series Fishing with John.

Role in episode

It is implied that the fishermen frequently cast their fishing lines near Bikini Atoll, creating a Fish Hooks Park to lure unsuspecting fish to eat them. Patrick thinks that their fishing lines are carnival rides.

Mr. Krabs, having apparently ran into these predators in the past, is one of the few sea creatures who understands the fishermen's intentions. In the episode, he warns everyone that "the hooks" have returned to Bikini Bottom. He explains that the fishermen are using them to reel sea creatures out of the ocean and into land, followed by cooking and devouring them, or worse, being sold at a gift shop or getting stuffed inside tuna cans. After finishing his speech, he strongly urges everyone, including SpongeBob, to stay away from them.

Despite the threat these predators face to Bikini Bottom, Patrick sees no harm in the hooks and indulges in the free cheese attached to them. SpongeBob tells him that Mr. Krabs warned him about the hooks, but Patrick encourages him by saying that Mr. Krabs did not say he could not "ride on them like a horsey." Conforming to peer pressure, SpongeBob eventually joins Patrick in playing on the hooks. The fishermen reel in their lines every time they feel a pull, but SpongeBob and Patrick jump off every time, much to the fishermens' disappointment.
