'fear this predator?' is the definition.
'eagle' can be an answer for 'predator?' (eagle is a kind of predator). I'm not certain of the remainder of the definition.

'uneasy anglers at heart' is the wordplay.
'uneasy' becomes 'ea' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'at heart' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'anglers' is 'gle'.
'ea'+'gle'='EAGLE'

'might' is the link.
