Fishing Team starts off season 3 after a long hiatus of recording with an ambitious scheme to catch a hundred fish in a day! We’ll gloss over whether that was going to be a hundred fish each, or a hundred fish total, but 106 fish is pretty much a success either way. This is also the first socially distanced quarantine LCPC episode. Places visited, …

The epic quest for TPWD elite status nears its stunning conclusion, as Matthew lands a certificate-worthy rainbow trout.

Lake Travis is a party lake, so Fishing Team tackles it in this episode with a party state of mind.

So this episode doesn’t have the best sound quality. We might have just scrapped this one, but early on, Matthew catches a certificate-sized Rio Grande cichlid, cane poling it right out of Lady Bird Lake. This episode marks the first time Fishing Team caught one of the trophy fish on actual direct audio like a real-live grown-up podcast! And it’s a…

Our Fishing Team goes to the Colorado River near Austin, hunting the state fish, the Guadalupe bass. Not to spoil anything, but from the pics you can see that they did indeed catch a Guadalupe. As Matthew and Jamey were a bit giddy from a live podcast taping at Armadillocon the night before, there’s more than the usual amount of singing, non-sequit…

It’s a last minute and poorly executed after-work trip to the County Line BBQ, which sits on a spur of Lake Austin. Fishing team takes advantage of fishes’ love of BBQ bread and hooks up on grass carp, catfish, and plenty of sunfish. It’s the longest fight sequence since They Live, so don’t miss it!

A bit of a spoiler, this is the episode where Jamey catches a great big carp. He’s already got his Big Fish Award for it, and he’s very proud of himself, you can be sure. Also included in this episode, Las Trancas tacos and a torta. If there’s something better than carp and street cart food, I want to hear about it. The post Ep41: Jamey’s Big Dang …

Our intrepid fisherguys take it to Lake Travis at Sandy Creek Park to try and catch something, anything they could call a trophy. It doesn’t quite go that well, but it also doesn’t go that poorly. There are tilapia sightings, fish in the hand, and some badly recalled Cher songs. The post Ep40: Do You Believe in Life After Lake Travis? appeared firs…

The gentlemen of fishing, Jamey and Matthew, take the long way to Lake Walter E. Long and take a stab at catching some largemouth bass and crappies. The long-anticipated giant cichlids don’t show, but they do get to weather close-quarter shotgun blasts. Matthew makes an easy “your-mama” dig, and Jamey does a lot of swearing.
