When Jesus tells him to put the nets out and Simon Peter replies "we've worked all night and didn't catch anything, but if you say so, we'll let down the nets" I can almost hear Simon's thoughts, which were more like "are you crazy, there's nothing there". You can even try saying those exact words said in a very sarcastic manner.
It is no wonder after the bounty came in Simon Peter fell at Jesus' knees claiming himself to be a sinful man. But Jesus obviously knew his heart and saw how completely enlightened Simon Peter was as he told him he would now be a fisher of men.
From the lyrics of one of my favorite bands on the same topic "If you're caught is to be free."
