If It Swims Podcast — Episode 32

Bret, Dave, and Gary are back to catch up on some recent fishing trips, virtually visit California, and dig into a few of the stranger stories from the world of fish.

This episode has a little bit of everything: smelt stink, vats of fish sauce stink, we stink, hidden crabs, dinosaur tracks, surprise marlin, and whatever else we manage to wander into along the way.

But most importantly, mark your calendar for November 12 at 8:00 PM Central.

• Sex-changing fish come back up. Again. It keeps happening.

This month on IFITSWIMS:

• Bret blanks. Gary and Dave catch bass. The natural order holds.
• Dave somehow ends up with a little DNA on him. We don't dwell.
• Bret takes a grass carp to the nutsack. He recovers. Mostly.
• Dave's back with fish factoids pulled straight from the news.
• The cloaca gets another mention on the pod. It keeps finding its way in.
• Fish doorbells. Yes, they're real. Yes, you can ring one.
• We mangle a few scientific names, as is tradition.
• A sea lion pulls off a tuna heist. Somebody calls it a big blubbery bully.
• Somebody says "that's so metal.".
• Gary gets into Minnesota native fish — quillback (Carpiodes cyprinus), buffaloes (Ictiobus), assorted suckers, freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens) — plus a native fish day worth marking down.
• We talk Arizona. Arizona fishing, Arizona fish. Two genuinely cool trouts (Oncorhynchus apache and Oncorhynchus gilae).
• We go fully nerdy on the genus Elops.
• Once again, someone says "regular bream."
• There's some slipper talk. The footwear kind. It gets weird. We're not sure how either.

Go ring a doorbell for a fish that needs to get somewhere:
The Fish Doorbell – Utrecht, Netherlands
