In this week’s Video of the Week, we catch up with Joshua Hardwick and Britton Hardcastle in their latest video project “The Last Day“. This film focuses on the age-old question “What would you do on your last day on Earth.” Picking an individual to answer this question is tough but what’s even harder is finding an individual as passionate and patient as Mr. Dayle Mazzarella. A world-class angler, teacher, and lover of life. The crew says that Dayle is “one of the most incredible humans they’ve had the pleasure of meeting.” We can’t say we’ve met Dayle, but just from this incredible short film we think we’d have to agree with the crew. Sit down and enjoy as Dayle takes you through his thoughts about life and fly fishing.
There are a lot of fishing videos and fishermen chasing exotic fish in exotic locations in this modern world. But there is something so simple and palpable about an amazing fisherman and his connection to a trout stream. Dayle Mazzarella is one of those people. Dayle’s expertise and passion for life and fishing moves you. You know it’s a pretty special story that you want to stop what you’re doing and fish when the video is done. To wrap up in the words of Dayle; “to me, life is just about being emotional, man you gotta feel alive. You don’t feel alive unless you feel everything that life throws at you.”
