It's a bug with fishing. I was talking with frefaln about it today in a group, but hadn't posted it yet.
"You caught... something" can result in catching a fish, it's one of the possibilities (fish scale, tattered cloth sandal, rusty dagger, plain old fish).
Fishing skill is decreasing the chance of catching nothing, breaking your fishing pole, or losing your bait, but not increasing the chance of catching a fish explicitly. So the message you're getting is correct, the problem lies a bit deeper.
What's the difference? It will result in disproportionately low numbers of fresh fish relative to your fishing skill, and may make it impossible to catch a zone specific fish.
