First miraculous catch of fish:
According to the Gospel of Luke, on the day of this miracle, Jesus was preaching near the Lake of Genesareth (Sea of Galilee), when he saw two boats at the water's edge. Boarding the one belonging to Simon (Peter), and moving out a little from shore, he sat and taught the people from the boat. Afterwards, he said to Peter:
    "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch."
Peter answered:
    "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."
When they had done so, "they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break," requiring help from another boat. When Peter saw the large catch, which filled both boats almost to sinking point, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!" Jesus responded "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men," after which Peter and his partners James and John left everything and followed Jesus.

Second miraculous catch of fish:
According to the Gospel of John, seven of the disciples – Peter, Thomas, Nathanael, the sons of Zebedee (James and John), and two others – decided to go fishing one evening after the Resurrection of Jesus, but caught nothing that night. Early the next morning, Jesus (whom they had not recognised) called out to them from the shore:
    "Friends, haven't you any fish?"
When they reply "No"), Jesus responds: "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." After doing so, "they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish."

Realising the identity of their advisor, the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!," at which Peter jumped into the water to meet him, while the remaining disciples followed in the boat, towing the net, which proved to be full of 153 large fish.


So I think nowadays Jesus would help make money instead of fish. After all, the disciples were probly selling the fish at the local fish market. (I mean they couldn't possibly eat all those fish alone)

Now the second catch of fish is very important, cause it teaches us that even when you think Jesus has deserted you for good, he still works!

And yet he said it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven, and that in order to follow him you must give up everything you have. This is health and wealth gospel and contrary to what the rest of the Bible teaches. I'm sorry, but I think you're mistaken.

That said, Matthew 6:33 says that if you seek him first your basic needs will be met.

"And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not." 2nd Peter 2:3

"And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." - Matthew 4:19.
