as pertaining to fisherman:
the first examples of the term being used to describe other fisherman was in the early 1930's in the diary's of pissed off fisherman.
def. - A potlicker in fishing is a man who is too lazy to go find fish on his own, so he looks for someone who is already on fish and then he moves into that man's spot. He potlicks, he's a lazy bastard who depends on what others find or leave him.

We had just started putting some fish in the boat when some damn potlicker sees us catching fish. So he drives up and anchors just 20 yards off our bow and begins to cast towards the spot we found.

One who takes over your fishing spots! A person requiring guided knowledge to catch fish. One who shares trusted fishing knowledge with others. One who uses live bait.

I was run off of my Crappie hole by a potlicker with live minnows. I guess I'll go home and punch the clown.
