Considering how often the Y button is used, I'll go ahead and assume it isn't a controller issue. As Ereo said, I would recommend looking to see if you have a tackle equipped, which you can see on your fishing rod - specifically, the Barbed Hook. To check if you have a tackle equipped, you can hover over your fishing rod in the menu, and if you see an iron hook, that's the Barbed Hook. I'm not too sure how to unequip it, as I am not familiar with switch controls, but a way to get rid of it is to just keep fishing until it breaks.

Outside of that, I'm not too sure what it could be.
