The Last Cast

[islandbass]

I've caught bass on the "last" cast and it is awesome when it happens, but I will say I despise it when the last cast hooks up but I lose it. To me that it worse than an empty handed last cast.

I was out fishing on July 4th with my son, we had some luck a few 1-2 lb lm bass. We headed back in around 11:00 to the boat ramp / public beach area. There was lots of people in the area swimming and splashing about. I had put my gear away but my son keep making that "last cast". Well we were about 25 feet from the ramp when he landed this bucket mouth.

Probably have caught way more on the first cast than the " last cast". Sometimes it's the kiss of death, sometimes not. Not my first cast today but the first in a totally different body of water, maybe 15# or so, not another strike until later in the day when I went bass fishing. Yesterday we were catching them on almost every single cast, but that was yesterday.

My last call = phone call from wife, "I need you to ..." End of my fishing trip! So I have never caught anything on my last cast, but I have caught several fish on my first cast.

It wasn't my last cast but close to it. I'd fished most of the morning and afternoon without a bite and I was tired. I said, if I didn't catch a fish within 5 casts, I was leaving. On the 4th cast I caught a nice hefty bass. And then two casts later, I caught another. So I stayed for another 2 hours.

How many bass tournaments have been won on the last cast before time runs out? Hundreds! A good friend of mines nick name is "last cast". You know you must leave, it's getting late and just 1 more cast, the last cast often ends up making your day.

[bassin is addicting]

honestly...

the last 2 times out...

fishing from the bank by myself...each time i had been out for about 5 hours up and down the bank of my local lake..i had some success...maybe a dozen fish both times...nothing of any size to speak of...

1st time out i said "last cast"...and caught a decent 2 1/2lb'er

then the next day..same thing...different location..i had walked up to my car and was done...and i decided to walk across the road to another little cove i had fished before and said "one cast"...bang!! about a 4 1/2lb'er

both times i gotta admit..i wanted to keep fishing...but i had been out for so long and convinced myself to actaully end the day with those 2 "last casts" on a good note..
