No, because Simon Peter did not follow Jesus in John 1:42.
But in Luke 5:10-11 says then they followed him.

1) Luke's account comes into play after Simon Peter became Christ's disciple in John's account. Notice that John mentions how they met whereas Luke's account simply says that Jesus walked up and got in his boat.
2) The first recorded word that Simon Peter uses in Luke is "Master" referring to his Lord, Jesus.
I see no contradiction here.

If one account includes a detail that the other omits that is not a contradiction. My faith is strengthened by the idea that several of the early apostles found the Savior through the testimony of John the Baptist and were waiting for Him while he spent 40 days fasting. Thus they eagerly left their nets and followed Him when he came for them. The image of them walking away from the family business and zombie-like following a total stranger sort of creeps me out.

Two seperate accounts of how each dealt with christ; From one's perspective and his feelings to anothers.
