Mark 1:16-17 King James Version (KJV)
16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
Mark 1:16-17 Expanded Bible (EXB)
Jesus Chooses His First Followers
16 When Jesus was walking by •Lake Galilee [T the Sea of Galilee], he saw Simon and his brother Andrew •throwing [casting] a net into the lake because they were fishermen. 17 Jesus said to them, “Come •follow me [be my disciples], and I will •make you [teach you how to] fish for people.”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
16 For fishermen this would be common and they would have done this everyday but the Sabbath. We also see in John that Andrew first saw Jesus at His baptism and he went and told Peter.
17 Jesus was going to have them catch people for Him, to convert the lost. While both were fisher men they would become more known because of their call for Christ. We need to follow His call for us.
