If he was a fisherman and a carpenter did he make his own plugs?

I think that was a 'Jew Fish' not a whale....no pun intended .......

And I'd like to think Jesus fished....if I remember right he 'caught' a few of his Apostles by burning one of his own spots and telling them where to throw the net.....

If he did, I bet those plugs would have some serious Mojo. There you go plug builders, time to make some jesus plugs.

Jesus was a hippy, and as far as I know never worked
he was a savior , they basically have no record of what he was or did from 12 to 30 years old. so really they don't know what he did or was.

At the age of twelve years he went up to Jerusalem to the Passover with his parents. There, in the temple, "in the midst of the doctors," all that heard him were "astonished at his understanding and answers" (Luke 2:41, etc.). Eighteen years pass, of which we have no record beyond this, that he returned to Nazareth and "increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man" (Luke 2:52). He entered on his public ministry when he was about thirty years of age. It is generally reckoned to have extended to about three years. "Each of these years had peculiar features of its own. (1.) The first year may be called the year of obscurity, both because the records of it which we possess are very scanty, and because he seems during it to have been only slowly emerging into public notice. It was spent for the most part in Judea.

(2.) The second year was the year of public favour, during which the country had become thoroughly aware of him; his activity was incessant, and his frame rang through the length and breadth of the land. It was almost wholly passed in Galilee.

(3.) The third was the year of opposition, when the public favour ebbed away. His enemies multiplied and assailed him with more and more pertinacity, and at last he fell a victim to their hatred. The first six months of this final year were passed in Galilee, and the last six in other parts of the land.", Stalker's Life of Jesus Christ, p. 45. The only reliable sources of information regarding the life of Christ on earth are the Gospels, which present in historical detail the words and the work of Christ in so many different aspects.

You might have to order one of the back issues to substantiate this story, but it said in here someplace that Jesus tub trawled codfish off the coast of Maine during his summers for a bit. He was never a surfcaster, or even knew what a striper looked like.
