In this special episode of the Mudfish Adventures Podcast, Master Captain and custom rod builder Steve "Scooby" Stubbe steps away from Toledo Bend and dives into the heart of the Houston Fishing Show's 50th anniversary. Scooby sits down with the powerhouse family behind Batson Enterprises—Bill Batson, Keller Batson, and Eden Batson—for a deep conversation about craftsmanship, family legacy, and innovation in the fishing rod industry.

Celebrating 25 years in business, the Batson family shares their inspiring journey from building rods in a garage to becoming one of the most trusted suppliers in the custom fishing rod world. Learn about their unique process, the importance of quality control, and how they've kept customer service and faith at the core of their success. Hear about Scooby's long-standing relationship with the Batsons, new rod designs for a Sasquatch-themed TV show, and a sneak peek into the Batson's massive product line and new online ordering system.

Whether you're a rod builder, a fishing fanatic, or someone who loves family-run businesses with heart, this episode is packed with insight, laughs, and even a few tears. Plus, get to know "Crazy Bob" and find out how to connect with the Batson crew for all your rod-building needs.
