I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin' Song)

"I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin' Song)" is a country song written by Rivers Rutherford and Marv Green, and recorded by American country music artist Brad Paisley. It was released in February 2002 as the third single from his 2001 album, Part II.

The song is a humorous narrative about a man who is torn between his love for his girlfriend (or wife) and his passion for fishing. He chooses to go fishing, much to her dismay, leading him to the realization that he is going to miss her while he's gone. The humor derives from the man's seeming prioritization of fishing over his relationship.

The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart in July 2002, making it Paisley's third number-one hit. It also features an appearance by actor William Shatner, who speaks a brief interlude in the middle of the song.

"I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin' Song)" is noted for its lighthearted subject matter and its blend of traditional country instrumentation with a more contemporary country sound. It is often considered one of Paisley's signature songs.
