As far as the story and SIU portrays Fisherman, this position is "jack of most trades, master of one"; somewhat different from the common adage "jack of all trades, master of none", because they are supposed to be the best front-line combatants, but they shouldn't compare to long-range prowess of Spear Bearer, information gathering and mobility of Scouts, Shinsoo manipulation of Wave Controllers, and so on.

Considering this, it makes perfect sense that individuals with Zahard-enhanced physical prowess are picked and commonly end up as Fisherman, because--even if their talents and skill-set may ultimately lie elsewhere (e.g., Maschenny)--there is hardly anyone who can compare to them in the Fisherman position. After all, the different Irregulars hold diverse positions because they are mostly compared to their fellow Irregulars, but Zahard Princesses are rarely surrounded by individuals who could be considered their peers.
