"Keep Fishin'" is a popular 2002 single by Weezer. It was the second single off the band's fourth album Maladroit. The music video features Weezer as guests on The Muppet Show, and as noted in the Weezer Video Capture Device DVD, marks the acting debut for the band members in a music video. At one point Kevin Smith was attached to direct the video for this song, but without the Muppets. [1].

The song was name-dropped in the band's 2002 Make Believe demo "Mo' Beats", with the lyric "I got mo’ beats than y’all/Keep fishin’ still seems small."

During some live shows in 2005, Weezer guitarist Brian Bell took lead vocals on "Keep Fishin'."

The song reached #24 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2002.
