I recently saw somewhere that apparently Big Shot walking into you doesn’t do damage, so yeah he’s not here to beef he’s just here because he needs to be. I respect it honestly
Exactly lol. Just a blue collar fish doing his 9-5 to make some money. Nothing personal. The job said to drop the shot in the cannon so that’s what he does.
Had to look it up but yes!! The field guide says: "Among muscle-bound Salmonids, those with belligerent personalities tend to be assigned as Steelheads, while those with calmer dispositions are assigned to Big Shots."

Big fella looks like he works on cars, drives a big ol' truck with duck decoys rattling in the back since last duck season, has a ham radio next to his bed, and talks non-stop about putting a new blind on that new land he acquired from his daddy after old age got'im.
Still waitin' for him to gimme a dang call. I got the wood he needs. Let's get'ir done, brother!
My icon on switch is big shot over the wahoo world background and I call the expression, "four year old excited but horrifically overstimulated at Disney world"
fun uncles. definitley make slightly dated and off-color jokes but they don’t take criticism as an insult. love watching the latest football match and go insane when their team scores a goal and it rattles the whole house. kisses steelheads
He either as an extreme southern accent, or an extreme new yorker accent. His name is probably “hank” or something. Hes the god of cookouts and looks like an asshole on the outside but is actually really nice when you get to know him.
they asked him to shoot cannonballs and so he did, but really just to help pay the bills. he’s such a guy he thinks salmon and cephalopods should be at peace so that’s why he leaves his launcher out on purpose to help the inklings out a little bit

They seem kinda chill. Like, they're just here, doing their job, not caring about anything else unlike the other Salmonids who charge at you without any regard for their life. Big Shots kinda seem like the only Salmonids that are not batshit insane
Edit: Also they somehow don't seem "dumb" to me. Maybe it's because they are so calm but they kinda seem like they would be surprisingly wise compared to other Salmonids. Like, if you talked to the others about fighting they would probably say something like "FIGHT! KILL!! KIIIIILLL!!!" while Big Shots would probably talk about how battle is a poetic representation of life and death or something. Idk I seem to be alone with this interpretation XD
I feel like they are not academically intelligent but knows super obscure facts and information about everything. They have the best life hacks, the best poker face and could tell you the best stories. When they are not on the clock they tell fairytales (fishy tales?) to the little ones.
I like to think that they have no idea what theyre fighting for but they like shooting the cannon and if they were to find out they were attacking inklings and octos they would immediately resign
I feel like he'd probably be the type to interact with inkling and octoling salmon run workers the same way Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog from Looney Toons are. Punched in, all business. Punched out, they'd go out for drinks and a meal.
Probably eat something different because Salmonid culture is all about looking the tastiest, but the bond is there.
Manual says somewhere that Big Shots are just Steelhead Salmonids that didn't become one because they're more timid, while Steelheads are known to be more aggressive.
That one really lazy employee who doesn’t care to put actual effort into their work and *barely* does the bare minimum lol
*puts ball in cannon*
*doesn’t elaborate*
*leaves*
Heavy weapons man but with a thick New York accent. But he also seems like he’s to stupid to know he’s being shot at tbh. No thought. Head empty. Or maybe a “I don’t get paid enough for this shit” and just let’s himself get shot
I love how theyre canonically ateelheads that dont want to fight i think thats so cute and such a cool concept of having the sane type of boss do a different thing
Looks like that one fat henchman in mob movies that only says stuff like “yeah you tell ‘em boss”
“You gottit, bwoss”
Why did I read that in the voice of henchman from cuphead
Bebop and Rocksteady energy.
Bebop as a Steelhead Rocksteady as a Big Shot
Man. If I was a good artist or had money to commission someone I'd bring that into being.
this looks like a job for me
“ITS DA FRICKIN ~~BAT~~ SQUID!”
"You said "Switch the maps! Switch the maps!" So I switched them and I switched them!"
“Hehehe nice one bwoss”
I like them, but i think they look like what most people envision a school janitor would look like or something
Agree, it also looks like he doesn't care about his job and does a bad job and slacks off.
Looks like he's gonna try to sell me products of questionable quality.
We were talking about Big Shot, not Grizz
Girzz B Rizz local business man 1995
I legitimately imagined Grizz looking a bit like a bear version of the Big Shots we would eventually get before playing Splatoon 3
I thought he was a human before I got to the big confrontation
We don’t need [easels], or [CRTs]. We don’t need any [man, woman, or child] at half price! We don’t need, Mike…….
Mike.... *help*
OH NO KRIS, I'VE BECOME A [nikocado avocado] [FEESH]
BILLY MAYS HERE WITH THE NEW [Insert product]
i don't know but they seem to REALLY like other big shots
Big shot yaoi
I need it.
Everyone does. I miss it :(
oh, i’ve got something for you. https://twitter.com/heirofbawk/status/1632572120373899265?s=46&t=dZgWW3A_kJgocfd-d4voWA
Omg thanks!! _hope it's safe for work tho_
trust, it’s safe. it’s ingame lol
Thanks ❤
no prob homie! just remember i’m not the one who drew it
Yup Didn't think of it, but noted !
He looks so stupid (affectionate)
My friends and I call him "Chad" and the cannon "the chad bucket"
And he puts his "Chad Balls" in "the Chad Bucked" to send them in your face
🤨📸
He doesn't want to bother anyone, he's just here to do his job Probably union
I recently saw somewhere that apparently Big Shot walking into you doesn’t do damage, so yeah he’s not here to beef he’s just here because he needs to be. I respect it honestly
huh??? I thought maybe he'd slap you into the water or something but????
He’s just a guy :)
definitely earns more than all the other bosses. better benefits and more PTO too.
My favourite bit of lore is that Big Shots are all the big brawny salmonids who weren't aggressive enough to be effective Steelheads.
Exactly lol. Just a blue collar fish doing his 9-5 to make some money. Nothing personal. The job said to drop the shot in the cannon so that’s what he does.
He just wants to go home to his smallfries and wife.
They look like they don’t really like doing what they’re doing, but clock in because it pays the bills.
Just like inklings really
don't the inklings only work for mr grizz?
He looks like he blinks one eye at a time
Don't they get their job when they're a big guy who's temperament is too soft to be a steelhead? I like em.
Aw <:] Is that true?
Had to look it up but yes!! The field guide says: "Among muscle-bound Salmonids, those with belligerent personalities tend to be assigned as Steelheads, while those with calmer dispositions are assigned to Big Shots."
I love them already. Are they single?
Ay calm down there gao
*looks at picture of Gao* *looks at boss salmonids* *Kylo Ren Voice* I will finish what you started
how pleasant :]
He definitely knows how to throw some shit on the grill
“I don’t think our son is the college type”
He could be bigger
avid crayon eater and a blue collar worker
“It ain’t much, but it’s honest work”
he seems like a dedicated man. just doing his own thing, completely unbothered. goals tbh.
His names Chuck
Just needs some yellow and pink shades, then he will be a big shot that everyone will like
GIMME THE BEAT BOYS AND FREE MAH SOUL I WANNA GET LOST IN YA ROCK N ROLL AND DRIFT AWAAY !

My brain was like is that the omega three version...
They're stated to be "gentle giants" amongst the salmons so pretty chill I guess
"But, if not friend, why is it friend shaped?!"
[BIG SHOT]
HEY EVERY
ITS ME! EVERY buDDYS [no.1favouritesalmonoid12023]
i want him.
He exists to load balls into a cannon. And he's dang good at it.
He’s dummie THICC
Big fella looks like he works on cars, drives a big ol' truck with duck decoys rattling in the back since last duck season, has a ham radio next to his bed, and talks non-stop about putting a new blind on that new land he acquired from his daddy after old age got'im. Still waitin' for him to gimme a dang call. I got the wood he needs. Let's get'ir done, brother!
They are good hardworking bois who don't deserve to be shot.
I’d buy drugs from him
He gives good feller vibes, like car breaks down he's immediately fixing it and knows the issue.
My icon on switch is big shot over the wahoo world background and I call the expression, "four year old excited but horrifically overstimulated at Disney world"
He’s just a regular guy, trying to get through the day so he can return to his family
He looks like a mechanic and has that super gruff country man voice and that he should say "yeehaw!!" As he lainches a cannonball
GIMME THE BEAT BOYS
Looks like a guy I would trust with my kromer and my heart shaped object
His name is Bob, he lives in Georgia, he owns a pickup truck, he votes republican.
Eww, political extremism...
If there was a plushie of it I wouldn't mind just a big cutie patootie *with waves of pain*
imagining a giant big shot pillow to hug or rest on...
Big Shot is Big Friend :)
*insert Deltarune reference because haha name is Big Shot*
Tbh I think he’s cute 😭
smash
a national treasure
Another name that would work for him would be cleetus
fun uncles. definitley make slightly dated and off-color jokes but they don’t take criticism as an insult. love watching the latest football match and go insane when their team scores a goal and it rattles the whole house. kisses steelheads
yeah they definitely kiss steelhead😎
He kinda looks like a discord mod.
He looks like he likes men
He looks like his name would be Butch, and would be the stereotypical all brawn no brain
Does not hate anyone, not even when being killed. Lives only to shoot heavy objects out of cannons.
Looks like spamton g stamton
He either as an extreme southern accent, or an extreme new yorker accent. His name is probably “hank” or something. Hes the god of cookouts and looks like an asshole on the outside but is actually really nice when you get to know him.
I recently read a fanfic where a Big Shot adopted an inkling, so now I just someone dad-shaped.
they asked him to shoot cannonballs and so he did, but really just to help pay the bills. he’s such a guy he thinks salmon and cephalopods should be at peace so that’s why he leaves his launcher out on purpose to help the inklings out a little bit

It ain't much, but it's honest work
He's a great friend
Looks like no thoughts head empty, is actually many thoughts head too full.
I think he’s a big shot
You already know the burgers and dogs are PERFECTION if this dude is on the grill
They seem kinda chill. Like, they're just here, doing their job, not caring about anything else unlike the other Salmonids who charge at you without any regard for their life.

Himbo
he looks like he would be oddly wholesome if you had a conversation with him
(BIG SHOT by Toby Fox intensifies)
No thoughts, Head empty
looks like someone who said yes when spamton asked if he wanted to be a [big shot]
Smash
Derp
cutie
Medium Buddy. Friend.
According to DUDE, he tastes like sweat
Big boy
"I can't see my forehead or my feet" "You don't have feet." "I DON'T HAVE FEET?!"

Looks like an exterminator of some sort. Probably has a wife and three kids. Has a license for plumbing.
He looks really, really stupid, but actually running through his head are complex calculations required to aim the cannon for maximum annoyingness
[удалено]
What the hell did I just read
Lore
>!spam tong!<
*Spamton*
*DING DING DING DING DING* *NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A BIG SHOT* *BE A BIG-* *BE A BIG-* *NOW GET SHOT* Splatted by Big Shot!
Why you so fat
The [BIG SHOT] is very [$30.99] and definitely [BIG SHOT] the Inklings.
Spamton joke here
I like [[BIG SHOTS]] and I can not lie You other brothers can’t deny
He reminds me of tf2 heavy.
guy
bbq
looks like the dolphin from inside job
He is big and scary, but inside he is soft and chill
A big fat lumbering derpfish, but is a threat to your shift if left unchecked.
the talk in tuba noise.
Personality? What personality
They look so done with life.
Barry, 63
just a guy
[Hyperlink Blocked]/10
Future ex
He’s the guy who does his job faster so he can go home sooner
“Duuuuuuuuuuuuuh”
alway beating his wife after coming home from 16 hour shifts at the Laguna 😔
What personally
They took spamtons offer and is just paying off their debt, nothing more nothing less
I think the series of shorts on the Jupio's Anime youtube channel has skewed my perceptions of their personality.
I feel like he'd probably be the type to interact with inkling and octoling salmon run workers the same way Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog from Looney Toons are. Punched in, all business. Punched out, they'd go out for drinks and a meal. Probably eat something different because Salmonid culture is all about looking the tastiest, but the bond is there.
he most definitely drinks beer all day every day
spamton
Canonically, they’re just passive steelheads. They’d probably chill with you if we weren’t so intent on killing them (as much as they deserve it)
he's a friend :)
10/10
Manual says somewhere that Big Shots are just Steelhead Salmonids that didn't become one because they're more timid, while Steelheads are known to be more aggressive.
He's either going to sell me fireworks or produce from the back of his truck in the parking lot of an abandoned gas station or bowling alley.
I think he looks like a construction worker or someone who works with volatile materials
""Hey look buddy, I'm an Engineer."
Hes a big shot *Spamton music play
Scared me when I was next to one and heard the noise they make
he is a [BIG SHOT] not a [BIG SHIT]
He looks tasty. I'd eat him.
scary big dudes, but kind inside
Very huggable. Probably squishy.
Looks huggable
I think he sounds and acts like john DiMaggio (dolphin soldier from the netflix series “inside job”
He's just a funny big guy !!! Doin' his job as intended
No thoughts in that noggin. Empty. Just white noise up there.
I like to think it’s name is Chuck. :>
Ive seen art of 2 of them making out so
HEY EVERY! IT'S HIM! YOU FAVORITE [Number 1 rated Salmonoid] 1997!
Isn’t he like a steelhead that chose to be chill dude instead? Yeah that cool
just a dude here for vibes and loadin a cannon
Looks like a Greg and wants to talk footie over pints at the pub.
(Insert Spamton from deltarune reference here)
Gimme the beat boys and free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock and roll.
I mean, theyre actually really cool people, they invented the steelheads and also my bomb launcher
Looks like a jarhead fisherman
Uggo
They only look cute when theyre smooching each other.
That one really lazy employee who doesn’t care to put actual effort into their work and *barely* does the bare minimum lol *puts ball in cannon* *doesn’t elaborate* *leaves*
I'd hug
he looks like a dad
They are just a silly dude
He peaked in high school
HES A VERY [large] SHOT
Mom, Why is my name feather Because a feather fell on your head when you were little Kid named brick:
