Gone Fishing was soooo close to making my must-hear albums of 2009 list, and it looks like this end-of-year surprise from the makers of it is a sign that it should have. These 4 tracks are titled a "Merry Christmas Mixtape", but it's not a very good description. They don't have anything Christmas-y, but they're still pretty decent. And they're free. Download the .zip here, or the tracks individually below.

01. BBQ Wings ft. Boldy James (prod. by Don Cannon)
02. Catch of the Day (prod. by Chuck Inglish)
03. Free Throws (prod. by First Team All State)
