You have spend most of your life working as a fisher. Either you have been a fisher on your own, just catching fish with a fishing pole with line and hook or with a fishing net, or you have worked on a fishing boat, where you have been out at sea for days or months at a time. No matter the method, you have spend a good chunk of your life at sea. You have then either sold the fish yourself or your guild sold them for you, if you worked for a guild.
Your call to adventure can be due to either the fishing businesss being bad for a time or perhaps your ship or boat crashed or sank while on a trip. You could also be seeking a legendary fish that will make the perfect catch. Another more simple posibility is that you were conscripted for the army, despite your current work.
