For whatever reason, fisher's request just destroys lures. To the point that it's almost a bad thing to use it while lure fishing. Maybe this is a side effect of how it's supposed to work with bait fishing, but overall it's a big feelsbad when you put in all the work to find a good fishing spot/lure combo to find out that. Normal fishing you'll lose maybe 1 lure per 5-10 fish (this is enough to make the expensive lures not worth using as is). But with request for a catch you start losing lures 1 per 2-3 fish.
I'm not playing at the moment, but I follow patch notes and don't remember seeing this mentioned being fixed. Was perusing the wiki and remembered vividly how much this annoyed me when I ran into it.
