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, Mabel Davis Park, Blunn Creek, and Shoal Creek. Fish caught include lots of sunfish, puppy bass, cichlids, and even a few Mexican tetra. Yes, there’s definitely some low balling involved here to pump up the numbers!

The epic quest for TPWD elite status nears its stunning conclusion, as Matthew lands a certificate-worthy rainbow trout. This is an only That Wasn’t That Bad episode, so you don’t have to listen to Matthew drop his phone in the water several times while trying to get a pick of a struggling and slippery fish lying next to a tape measure in shin-deep water. Discussed this episode, the frustration of fishing the Guadalupe River and the cooking advice of P.J. and Apple Stoop.

This special all That Wasn’t That Bad episode follows the inshore fishing trip Jamey and Matthew took to Port Aransas in December 2019. They describe catching fish off the pier in Bayside, the Caldwell Pier in Port A, and the sheepshead off the Packery Jetty. Also a long review of Texas Seafood by PJ and Apple Stoop. Some of the more unusual catches, Matthew caught a pompano, a harry blenny, and an actual squid. Jamey caught a puffer fish, as well as a Bermuda chub, a fish the Stoops reveal as having a habit of eating dolphin poop!

Here’s some bonus content, actual videos! First a squid caught with an eging lure on the Caldwell Pier in Port Aransas.

And finally, a tanker wake at the Port Aransas shipping channel which comes very close to washing over the wall.

Lake Travis is a party lake, so Fishing Team tackles it in this episode with a party state of mind. They put to the test Matthew’s crazy scheme to use a tarp and a waterproof bluetooth speaker playing electronic dance music. Also a special “that wasn’t that bad” crossover segment with Matthew and Jamey’s other podcast, Bad Roll Models!

This episode finds Fishing Team (aka Jamey and Matthew) in the canoe out at their secret honey hole for carp and catfish. Just kidding, they’re sitting right next to the Hula Hut restaurant in plain view of everyone. In fact, Jamey gets a standing ovation for his extraordinary fishingness!

It’s the high heat of the summer, and for some reason Jamey and Matthew are out in the canoe on Lady Bird trying to catch some stuff. There’s a few small fish caught and a conversation about Rapala and Champagne tastes. That Wasn’t That Bad taped during dinner at Taco More on Austin’s Riverside Road.

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 also the halfway mark on our Quest for Elite!
