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 partially re-record/remix the track, embellishing it significantly.  This new version, completed in the Spring of 2002, is the so-called 'radio version' featured on the various single releases and music video.

Apparently, Rivers still wasn't completely satisfied with how the song turned out.  Lyrics to the [[Album 5 Demos]] track [[Mo' Beats]] reveal, "I got mo' beats than y'all/Keep Fishin' still seems small." Cuomo also admitted in the ''[[Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo|Alone II]]'' that "a thousand 'Keep Fishin's' does not equal one "[[Say It Ain't So|Say It Ain't So-ooo-ooo-oo]]."

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 at the official site, but the US CD single remains the only place to (legally) acquire the full recording.
