The tense form in the sentence "The fishermen have been fishing all night long" is the present perfect continuous tense. This tense is used to indicate an action that began in the past and has continued up to the present, emphasizing the duration of the activity. The use of "have been" signifies that the action is ongoing, while "fishing" is the present participle.
That sentence is present tense. "Is" is a present tense linking verb.
It depends on whether the sentence is supposed to be in the present or past tense. If it's the past tense -- if your grandfather is no longer your fishing buddy because he died or because you two got in a huge fight -- then you use "had." If he still IS your fishing buddy and advisor -- if it's the present tense -- then you use "has."
