The Big Fisherman is a 1959 film about the life of St. Peter, one of the three closest disciples of Jesus. In one scene, two men approach Peter (played by Howard Keel) asking if he believes in turning the other cheek. When he says he does, one of them hits him on the cheek to test him.
The film is adapted from a novel written by Lloyd C. Douglas. The novel is highly related to Douglas' previous book, The Robe, which was also adapted as a movie. The Robe introduced "the Big Fisherman" as a nickname for Peter.
Big fish need the resources of large bodies of water to grow to their immense sizes.
Other opportune moments to take big fish are when they concentrate over springs and at the mouths of tributaries during the hot summer months, or during ice out when waters warm and they go on feeding binges after a lean winter.
If a big fish is challenged under tough wind conditions and bungled, it will only help to educate the trophy and make it that much harder to catch when conditions improve.
The bigfisherman at Brown Brothers Wharf has turned into a jolly red giant for the Christmas season, wearing a Santa cape custom-made by Brown's employee Carol Younts.
The 22-foot-tall fisherman statue at Brown's Wharf, normally clad in yellow foul-weather gear, is sporting a dramatic, full-length red velvet cape.
The fisherman had new heavy soles put on his shoes a few years ago when he started teetering in the wind and had to be repaired.
