Fishin' for Woos is the ninth studio album by rock band Bowling for Soup. The album was released on Que-so Records/Brando Records in the United Kingdom on April 25, 2011, and worldwide on April 26, 2011.
The album was recorded over a three-week span in June 2010. Frontman Jaret Reddick has stated the album will be released in spring 2011. Prior to the album's release, the band planned to release a six-track EP, titled Fishin' for Woos. The track listing for Fishin' for Woos was announced to be "Let's Pretend We're Not in Love," "Dear Megan Fox," "Here's Your Freakin' Song," "Evil All Around the World," and a song the band had been playing for years, but had previously never recorded, "Guard My Heart." Reddick stated that the album would be released on a label, after Fishin' for Woos is released independently. The EP was originally set for release October 5, 2010, but Reddick announced on September 24 via Twitter, "The bad news: The new EP release is being pushed back. The Good news: new FULL album sooner, a free song for you, & MUCH more! Stay tuned." Later that same day, the band put up a new song called "Friends Chicks Guitars" as a free download on their official site. When asked if any songs from Fishin' for Woos would be on the album, Reddick responded with "maybe 2 or 3." The band released another new song titled "Let's Pretend We're Not in Love," exclusively through their BFSArmy Fancorps site in November 2010. Reddick announced via Twitter on November 15, 2010, that the new album has a tentative release date of May 3, 2011. This was further confirmed two days later, via the Bowling for Soup Twitter, that stated Merry Flippin' Christmas Volume 1 would be released on iTunes and CD, the band's first two albums would be re-released, and there will be a new album and tour in May. Reddick announced in his eleventh podcast that instead of releasing an EP before the band's next full-length album, the band would be releasing just the album, which is currently set to have twelve songs and be titled Fishin' for Woos. Reddick also featured another new song, titled "I've Never Done Anything Like This" (feat. Kay Hanley), during his eleventh podcast. It was announced November 19, 2010, that the band had signed to Razor & Tie, but later changed to Brando Records. To help promote the album, the band will be embarking on the "Fishin' for Woos Tour" beginning in the spring of 2011 in the United States.
