Fishing Spiders are large and powerful spiders. They more often hide during the day and hunt at night. They, like many predators, are not much inclined to run away at the first sign of trouble. Some fishing spider, in Great Britain, have the reputation of having a very nasty bite. So if any animal, even a human, does not take their formidable appearance serious, then they may get bitten.

Fishing spiders use silk "safety ropes" to protect themselves when climbing, so they can "bail out" and fall great distances very rapidly without getting hurt.

These spiders are not inherently aggressive. If you don't grab one of them you will be very unlikely to get bitten.

How do spiders use silk to protect their eggs?

Spiders make an egg case, lay their eggs in it, and seal it up. Then they either carry the egg case along with them (as do the wolf spiderss, the fishing spiders, etc.), build a nursery web in preparation for holding in the baby spiders for a few days while they grow up a little and then hang the egg sac in there so they can hang out on the outside and protect everything (those spiders are called nursery web spiders), or they fasten the egg sac wherever they take shelter on a regular basis.
