In FFXI fishing wasn't a class. You could be a paladin or whatever, fish up a mob, switch weapon and attack. Because fishing is a class in FFXIV, you might have to fight the mob as a fisher, which doesn't sound like what you want. (If you have aggro, you can't switch classes or gear.)

Maybe you could fish up an item that requires DoW/DoM to use it, and it would pop a mob or NM. This doesn't have that immediate surprise/panic element, but in FFXIV that would only lock you into fighting it as Fisher class anyway.
