In my thinking you are SUPPOSED to catch one on the first cast. The first cast of the day, the first cast under a dock, the first across a submerged stump. Are you fishing or just testing the action on your lure?
Just like at the end of the day we'll make just one more cast before quitting. If we screw up the last cast we'll make another, if we catch a fish on the last cast, we'll make several more cast before quitting.
