6He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”
9When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
Jesus did the same thing earlier in the scriptures when He called His disciples.
Luke 5:4And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.
The disciples heard someone calling out to them, but didn't know who He was. When they caught the fish, they knew it was a miracle, so John cried out "It's the Lord!"
Jesus was simply proving to them who He was. It was nothing to do with how many fish there were except it was a bigger haul than last time & the net didn't break, proving the miracle.
Being 153 had no other significance at all!
The numerologists on this forum need to repent for mistranslating the Scripture!
