When casting a fishing rod while aiming upwards the bobber travels REALLY far.
AFAIK this was not a thing in older versions of Minecraft Java Edition (I am unsure when this changed)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Get a fishing rod
2. Aim upwards (-90 pitch for the best effect)
3. Cast the fishing rod
4. See a fishing bobber that is really far
The attachment video is filmed on a Minecraft server and the client has some QoL mods however I also tested this on 1.21.4 vanilla in singleplayer and still had the same results.

I am able to reproduce the reported behavior in a vanilla environment. It was introduced in Minecraft 16w43a, when fishing line physics were overhauled — from the changelog of that version:
This behavior has previously been mentioned in the description of MC-193555, but the primary focus of that report seemed to be the thickness of the fishing line.
