I've searched high and low for a fisherman mini for my Kingmaker campaign. I'm looking for a captain Ahab-esque guy with a hat and a rain jacket perferabley, with a spear/harpoon would be even better. Anyone have any ideas? I've searched freebooter and reapers websites :(

I don’t know of such a miniature, but I’m thinking perhaps a company that does pirate miniatures might be your best bet for finding something suitable? Eureka Miniatures and Old glory Miniatures are two companies you might look at for pirate ranges.
Another avenue might be to look at ‘modern horror’ miniatures – maybe from the Call of Cthulhu range) I think RAFM did them, but not sure if they’re still produced. There are some other companies that do modern horror type minis too.
mmm nothing there
im pretty much looking for this fellow.
go into any harborside souvenir shop in a coastal town and you will find plenty of him in different sizes and different colors
Thats not bad. Just wonder how big he is.
What about giving this guy a weapon mod? Karlov Diedrich, Wizard (remove current weapons... add spear, harpoon or fishing pole)
EDIT: Thoughts... semi straighten the crook of the staff, use sword pummel as a reel, string white thread accordingly. (superglue thread for increased durability once positioned.)
way too thin unfortunetly, hood laso throws me, looking for a hat
Well, ok... I did a bit of very-quick photoshoping, cuz I'm bored. The right hand (formerly a sword), seems a bit odd, perhaps holding a green-stuff fish? The baubles on the staff make for nice lures... tack on a paperclip hook (with thread) and BAM! :D
Fisherman mod potential
Regardless, good luck in your search.

25mm Dwarf on Crutches... I don't see the crutches, not a great pic.

Hmm, standard minis are 28mm right?

hah that looks pretty amusing, the actual work involved might be a bit much, take it into consideration. Thanks for the lovely photoshop though :)
Head over to reapermini.com, and check out "Anatole, Male Pirate Harpooner" Figure # 03252. I think it might be what your looking for.

Ah ok, I was looking at the "Gorton's" looking dwarf, lol. Most minis are 25mm, Reaper Warlord(purple packaging) minis are 28mm. I'd probably go with the Dwarf Fisherman, he's pretty close... pole and fish without modding.

Learn how or hire someone to sculpt on a beard and hat with greenstuff if you need something that specific. Usually finding something like that is otherwise like a needle in a haystack, especially since it's not a fantasy or space marine-esque figure. I don't mean to sound defeatist, but unfortunately they don't have minis for everything. You have to decide to be able to make do with what's available or learn to do conversions or pay someone else to do conversions for you.
Other possibilities (requiring conversion):

Sculpt on a beard and extend his coat, cut the gun out of his hand carefully and replace it with a fishing pole or harpoon. (Plenty of spears from weapons packs you could use)
http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Chronoscope/latest/50087
This guy would also work with similar conversion, though getting the gun out of his hand would be hard.
I checked Call of Cthulhu minis but couldn't find anything appropriate. Those are often good for something that looks more pulpy than fantasy or uber sci fi though (when you can't find it in Reaper Chronoscope). I also tried Foundry but didn't find anything.
Update:
managed to find what I was looking for, or at least something close enough. Behold, the press gang . the fine gentleman in the middle was what I decided on
