Players blocking with a shield cannot block or deflect fishing rod bobbers from other players like they can with other projectiles such as; arrows, tridents, or wind charges when the bobber is hitting them from their blocking direction. For clarification, this is not reporting the bobber connecting when hitting the player anywhere, but simply from the direction of the shield (shown in the video)
Steps to Reproduce:
Have two players join an LAN or multiplayer world
Player 1 blocks with a shield
Player 2 Uses a fishing rod, towards the shield
Observed Behavior:
Despite player 1 blocking, the bobber attaches to them anyways, seemingly phasing through the shield.
Expected Behavior:
The bobber would not attach to the player, but instead would collide with the shield, bouncing off or simply falling to the ground.

Can confirm! The cause is probably the bobber hitbox phasing through the shield hitbox for a split second, but grabbing the player hitbox and teleporting.
