After being properly recorded for ''Maladroit'', [[Rivers Cuomo]] felt the recording was lacking in some way.  When the band decided to release the song as the album's second single, he took it as a perfect opportunity to re-record the track entirely, embellishing it significantly. This new version, completed in the spring of [[2002]], is the so-called "Radio Version" featured on various single releases, as well as the music video.

The [[Franklin Mint]] version of the song is an all-keyboards instrumental take created by [[Pat Wilson]].  A clip of this version was released by [[Karl Koch]] at the official site, but the US CD single remains the only place to (legally) acquire the full recording.
The US CD single is, to date, only the second ''retail'' Weezer CD single officially released in the United States - the first being the "[[Hash Pipe]]" two-track.  It was released in selected areas as a marketing experiment by the record company.


The song "[[Mo' Beats]]", demoed by Weezer in the summer of [[2002]], explicitly references "Keep Fishin'" in its lyrics ("''I got mo' beats than y'all / "Keep Fishin'" still seems small''")
