Total of fishes caught for late feast (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
all souls
'late feast' is the definition.
(All Souls' Day, the Feast of All Souls)
'total of fishes caught' is the wordplay.
'total of' becomes 'all' (I've seen this in another clue).
'fishes' becomes 'soles' (sole is a type of fish).
'caught' shows a homophone (sound like) (to catch something can mean to hear it).
'soles' sounds like 'souls'.
'all'+'souls'='ALL SOULS'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for all souls that I've seen before include "Day of prayer for dead on 2nd November" , "Everybody" , "Nov. two church festival" , "Comprehensive" , "Oxford college" .)
