Bottom Fishing by John Leech. The caption continues:

Piscator No. 1. (miserably) “Now, Tom, do leave off. It isn't of any use; and it's getting quite dark”.

Piscator No. 2. “Leave off!! What a precious disagreeable chap you are. You come out for a day's pleasure and you're always a-wanting to go home!”.
