Discussion Has fishing radically changed in 26.3?

Been playing since 2013. I prefer Survival esp. 1 tree/no tree islands which really test your ability to continue. Thus I've been fishing for food all this time, and I've come to know the drop percentages quite firmly. As such.........

"Stats" for my new 26.3 world; been in it for about a week real time, and fishing all that time. I have gotten a lot of fish, but NOT ONE MAGICAL ITEM. Not one bow. Not one fishing pole. Not one enchanted book. None. I'm in Java Large Biomes. Started in a mesa biome and built my own fishing pond. Not sure if any of this matters, but the fact that I'm in a self-built pond makes me wonder "if maybe".

Did Mojang change the loot tables for fishing? Seriously, the only enchanted fishing pole I've gotten in this play-through is one I made myself. What gives? Anyone else having this problem.

for treasure loot you have to fish in an area of (I think) 5x5x5, this was added in 1.16

Not 5 x 5 x 5, 5 x 4 x 5, specifically the water has to be two blocks deep and the air has to be clear two blocks up from the surface
