The classes have completely different expectations of players stats, you realise. If fishing actually expected BTN/MIN tier stats it'd be impossible, but it doesn't - the stat cutoffs for catching fish are based off of what a Fisher can actually get.

Also having an off-hand for an additional stat boost literally just means you have to sink more money into the class. I'm actually quite happy Fisher doesn't need to do that.
