I'm working on a game that uses the fishing rod over mobs, so I tested it very carefully. Hooking on a mob does no damage, sometimes the pulling fails and the overall working pull is less than 30% of what I normally see.
I kill/respawn several time a lot of villagers in different places and context and the behaviour bug will still take place after changing night into day, and it affects all vilagers at once every time.
