In this inspiring episode of the Mudfish Adventures Podcast, Captain Steve "Scooby" Stubbe sits down with outdoor legend and adaptive sportsman Chad Waligura, founder of Able Outdoors and host of the popular CarbonTV series by the same name. From the Pintail Hunting Club in South Texas, Chad shares how a life-changing spinal cord injury at 17 couldn't stop his passion for the outdoors. He talks about guiding turkey hunts, filming adaptive hunting shows, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible through grit, innovation, and faith.

Chad opens up about how he navigates challenges in both the field and the film world—whether it's rigging a saltwater fishing setup, accessing public lands with insurance red tape, or using adaptive gear to chase bighorn sheep and Yukon moose. Along the way, he drops powerful insights on what it means to be able, not disabled, and how he's helping others regain their independence and confidence through outdoor adventure.

Whether you're a hunter, angler, filmmaker, or advocate for inclusion, this episode is a must-listen. Plus, Captain Scooby teases new custom rod designs for Chad and the possibility of some groundbreaking saltwater flats fishing collaborations!
