criteria for submissions:
- if the character fishes for, like, their job or their survival or whatever then they're automatically eligible
- if it's not for their job or survival, but it's established that they do it relatively regularly anyway, they're automatically eligible
- characters who just fish occasionally, or like Once, have a good chance of being included based on if the fishing is somehow important (or if i think they're cool)
- player characters from video games with fishing mechanics/fishing minigames are automatically eligible
- i won't be pedantic about the scientific definition of Fish. a character who hunts for sharks or sea monsters or whales or whatever is still good to go
- no real people, fictional characters only (unless you can make a funny and/or compelling case for why they, an objectively Real Person, should be considered a character, like the person who submitted jeremy wade from river monsters)
- don't know if it's necessary to say this, but the submissions so far have been overwhelmingly men, so: anglers of all genders are welcome! i am using "fisherman" as a vague gender neutral term
other rules and stuff:
- i reserve the right to exclude any submission from the tourney based on my own personal judgment. most submissions will probably be included though
- you can submit multiple characters but only submit each one once
- propaganda about the characters is not only allowed but ENCOURAGED. throw it in my askbox or the tag #fisherman fight 2023

It's the finalists time, which one will win? Our big mouth filter feeder or our pretty refined Epaulette? It's up to you.
Whale Sharks (Rhincodon typus) can possibly have a big regeneration hability, probably even repairing part of its fins, even it's spots can reform after an injured area. The teeth of this shark is completely vestigial, since it plays no role in eating. Not only is the Whale Shark the biggest fish, but it also had the deepest recorded dive of any fish, going down at 1,928 metres (6,325 ft).
Epaulette (Hemiscyllium ocellatum): they're funny sharks, surviving in low oxygen by increasjng the blood supply to its brain and shutting down non-essencial braincells, they usually waddle along the reef instead of swimming, the maximum size reported was just 1,07 meters (3.5 feet). They're harmless to humans.

On one side the intruder cousin who somehow is still here and on the other our beloved fancy reef shark, who shall win?
Ghost shark (order: Chimaeriformes): they're technically chimeras, not sharks, but their closest living relatives ARE sharks and rays, even if they split off 400 million years ago. Today, they only stay in deep water. They can reach 1,50 meters (4.9ft), with a skin smoother than the sharks skin. They're rare to find, very rare, and that plus being a deep water fish, humans are pretty much safe.

On one side we have one big boi and on the other we have the whip tail, who shall win?

Thresher Shark (genus: alopias): The thresher shark is fast and has a very fun big tail, used as a whip to hit prey and stun them. The largest species, Alopias vulpinus, can reach up to 6,1 meters (20ft). They're pretty shy and not a danger to humans. They're fished a lot for the challenge of its speed and strenght.
