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.
– Bass fishing before breakfast.
– Meth? Yup. Meth.
– Freshwater drum on the dinner table.

If that doesn’t hook you, maybe the sound of Bret’s “fun-fact voice” or Dave’s existential dread will.

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.
