In the ocean, divers dive the same place fishermen fish. Reef, wrecks..anyplace fish are present. I would assume it is the same in lakes?

I see it as a real concern. I see mono on pretty much every dive. I have been snagged a few times and have seen others get snagged.

Once my first stage was hopelessly tangled and I was by myself. Kind of scary.

They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure.
