Seems to me like the fisherman is Jesus. In the Bible, he isn't a fisherman, but several of his disciples are.
Multiple times in the Bible Jesus is associated with fishing: After a period of unsuccessful fishing, he tells his disciples to cast their nets on the other side of the boat and they immediately catch more fish than they can haul in. He also tells his disciples to be "fishers of men" (to teach nonbelievers about him so that they can be saved and go to heaven). Today a fish commonly symbolizes Christianity.
I can't think of anything that directly points to Jesus as an actual fisherman, but it definitely fits the song because the singer goes to the fisherman and is told to love and have faith.

Jesus is the Spiritual Fisherman. This song is his words and his emotions in a nutshell. :)
