Send a text Episode 26 February. Love. Fish. In no particular order and absolutely no supervision. We’re back. It’s cold. It’s romantic (allegedly). And somehow we’re talking about fish again instead of buying flowers. Bret and Dave roll through recent trips—questionable weather decisions included—and dive headfirst into the latest fishing news spiral: 🐟 Swedish Fish (and not even about the Carp Ladder. We contain multitudes.) 🎣 Stolen tarpon. Yes. Someone really boosted a silver king. Humani...
Send a text Episode 25: The crew's back and barely thawed out—Bret, Gary, and Dave huddle up to swap fish tales from frozen tents, chase the first fish of the year, and unpack some truly cursed crab trap contents (shoutout to the mystery shark head that started 2026 off so right). We talk: ❄️ Camping where your toothpaste freezes🐟 The “Carp Ladder” contest chaos (yes, it's real. yes, it’s glorious.)🎉 NYE fish celebrations 🦈 Great whites going full snowbird—hello Florida🪤 sharks in ...
Send a text 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 ways we’re not legally qualified to comment onInvasive green crab...
Send a text 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 quick: Fish-themed video games? Check. piebald blue catfish straight outta you...
Send a text 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 (seriously, it’s absurd) People catching fish for the carp lad...
Send a text 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.

Send a text 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. – Bass fishing before breakfast. – Meth? Yup. Meth. – Freshwater drum on the din...
Send a text 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. Support the show
