 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''")
