One last cast...

I love to end on a fish, so my last cast may be that fish I land after it feels like it's time to go if I'm fishing solo.  If the wife is with me, she determines when the last cast is, usually with a warning of ok -- we've got about 10 mins before I need to go.  Generally, the next fish landed was my last cast in that scenario.

If I'm with a buddy, and were on fish we may say last cast ... ok, this is really my last cast, oh you got a hit?  Ok, last cast... on and on lol.  As long as no one is expecting me at a certain time, last cast can be very fluid.  One of the great things about cell phones is the wife no longer expects a specific time.  I tell here where I'm going, and when I expect to head back - but things get updated over the phone all the time.  I generally let her know we are at the lake, and when we load up to head back.  A few updates go a long way with keeping a happy wife!  

My cell phone works the opposite way. She is always calling, wondering why I’m not at home. We’ve been together 7.5 years and she still doesn’t understand when “just after dark” is

I actually caught one on my "last cast" this summer.

Never happened before of course but it did this day.

 

I called "one more cast"; caught one, packed my stuff and left

 

Ya don't wanna jinx that stuff...
