Episodes
We’re back from the field and straight into the fish-adjacent madness — with just enough structure to call this a podcast episode and not a group text gone rogue.
First up: a few recent trips where the fish showed up, the weather didn’t behave, and nobody remembered sunscreen (again).
Then we dive headfirst into some fishing-flavored news that may or may not have happened in the same universe:
- Drones being used ...
In this episode, we hit the sand, surf, and straight-up weird side of the fishing world like a red drum on a mullet run.
We kick things off with a redfish surf fishing trip that reminded us why salt, sand, and suffering are the holy trinity of angling. Did we catch fish? Absolutely. Did we sunburn in places that shouldn't see daylight? You bet.
Then it's on to fishing news, where things get weird real qui...
Bret and Dave are back with another round of multi-species mayhem, low-stakes fishing hot takes, and extremely questionable aquatic science. This month, they unpack their latest adventures, troll through some fishy corners of the internet, and add FOUR brand-new offerings to the ever-evolving, totally arbitrary Carp Ladder.
Also on the docket (but not in any logical order):
The world's largest swimming pool (...
Episode 21:
This month, Bret and Dave return from the salt crusted, sunburned trenches of an IFITSWIMS group trip — where sharks were hooked, redfish were wrangled, and someone probably got bit by a crab. They break down the trip, riff on fishy headlines, and give you the latest updates from the Carp Ladder, which is either a wholesome community contest or the beginning of a slippery evolutionary experiment.
Episode 20:
This month on the IFITSWIMS podcast, Bret and Dave are back to trade lies, swap bait, and dig into the wet mess of recent trips and stranger-than-fiction fish news. We're talking:
– Orange sharks. Seriously.
– Fish raining from the freakin’ sky.
– The Carp Ladder leaderboard’s heating up.
– Four new baits dropped like hot mixtapes.
– Carp fishing in the world’s largest swimming pool.
This one hurts.
In this short, heavy episode, Bret and Dave share the heartbreaking news of Justin’s passing. No jokes. No fish tales. Just grief, love, and some thoughts about what comes next for IFITSWIMS.
We’re still in it—still reeling. But we’re here.
If you take one thing from this episode: Call your fishing buddies. Make the trip. Land the damn fish. You never know when the last cast is coming.
🎧 Episode 18
This month, Bret and Dave chew through their latest fishing escapades, toss around some strange news from the waters, and stir up the Carp Ladder leaderboard with a fresh dump of four more baits. Yes—FOUR. Things are getting fishy and competitive.
Also, it’s raining fish. Literally. Maybe.
