This has been truly an epic season for salmon. Biggest run I have ever seen. The irony is, I harvested like 50 fish 4 years ago, and worried that would impact this year'd run. Nope. Best of all, these have been ALL wild fish. Meaning, not stocked, but born there. Stocked fist have their adipose fins clipped. I didn't catch a single stocked fish this year. Every fish was wild. Amazing. There were so many fish we actually got bored of catching them. Which is typically impossible for me. LOL Some were hooked legally in the mouth. Others fouled hooked accidentally Didn't matter. Every fish was released. Well, I kept one big fresh silver fish on day. After that, all catch and release. I love sharing the experience with friends. Makes it that much sweeter, to share a little slice of the secret paradise where I live. I love this place. And I love my life. I pray to God everyday and thank Him for putting me in a position to where I get to enjoy His beauty and bounty. These are the days I dreamed of in prison for 13 years. Literally. So dreams DO come true. I am living proof. Life is good. I share these videos to inspire YOU to get outside, chase dreams, and live your best life. It is the little things that make us truly happy. NOT fortune and fame. Not money and things. Memories are what count. The rest will fall into place if you just give God His due glory, and work hard to be your best you. That is the law of the universe. Work, focus, and put God first. Do that, and watch what happens. Spend your time on positive things. Shy away from negative behavior and negative people. Never care what people say or think. Just be your best you, and always, ALWAYS, put God in charge of your life. Miracles happen. Give it a shot. I have just one more salmon video for you, and then it is jones till next season for me. BUT, it is now deer season. SO I will channel my passion and energy into that. Not expecting to shoot the deer I want. I am after a 3-4 year old mature buck. Nothing else. Slim chance. They tend to be much smarter than me. LOL But I study, maneuver and adapt. I only have 20 acres, but I am surrounded by thousands of acres that are barely or not even hunted. So there is a chance. Doesn't matter of I get one. I justify enjoy being in the tree, watching them. My happy place. I hope this inspires you to find yours! Put God first. Watch what happens, Thank me later.

Just a little ride and talk, explaining why I haven't been focusing energy and time on my channel. I[ll still post when I get some time, as I want to build a nice little market up for my hooks and future projects, but right now I am hyper focused non work and play. I hope you stick around for the long haul. I have some exciting projects ahead. Really exciting. But they take time to develop so it would be many months. IN the meantime, I will be hunting, fishing, writing, and enjoying my freedom. If I don't seem present, it is because I am not. I prioritize my time based on fun and ROI. Video content really isn't all that fun and has very little ROi. But I hope you enjoy the few videos I post, and stick around for future videos. I have some interesting guests who want to come on, and also some great topics I want to discuss without being censored.

This was really a great experience for me. Just have a listen to the story. Strange how things can go full circle. It was an honor and pleasure to pass the torch to the next generation, as it had been passed to me 40 years ago. Mike is such a gentlemen and fun guy. His son Noah was a respectful and fun young man to guide and hang out with all day. It was an honor to show them my secret salmon fishing spot. I made them swear to never tell a soul where we were. If they did, we would have a problem. I like to keep this gem to myself. Call me selfish, I don't care. There is nothing worse than walking up to your favorite stream to find 276 idiots fighting, arguing, snagging, drinking and acting like morons. No, I want my place for me. I trusted them. Enjoy the video I just made a short highlight real of some of the catches. Sadly, we are only able to catch the tail end )no pun intended LOL) of the battles, as the first half the fish are going ballistic and we cannot video. After a few minutes, the fish calms down and we can pull the camera out. Wish we had a camera man to show you some of the insane battles we had. At times were were running down the river after monsters. The kid was good. He learned fast. Caught right up to me. I've never seen that before. Usually I catch 10 to 1 on rookies This kid hung fish for fish. Maybe did better. But I did make some incredible epics precision casts that blew his mind. On my fist fish, I flipped a spawn bag into a 2' inch slot between a big female and a male. I didn't want the female is I jerked the bait away from her, into the mouth of the make, which shot 75 yards down stream and eventually broke my 40 test Spider Wire, nearly ripping my finger off in the process. Good times. LOL

Watch the video. I have no idea what to do. I can't catch them if I tried. The daddy maybe. Never the others. If I don't feed them this winter, they will probably die. Sad.

Just another day on the river. I skipped a day to get some work done on the TV script and some marketing campaigns. But I couldn't hold off two days in a row. This was from yesterday. Today I took an old friend and his son fishing. Then son, a semi pro Jr level bass fishermen, caughtbis first salmon. More of that tomorrow. What a memory. On this episode, I am solo and having a ball. In my happy place. I will be sad when it ends soon, but I will still have deer season. Then grind all winter and trout in the spring. There is always something. For now, I am after these kings!

Day 4 on the books. Actually, I recorded day 5 today, but tis is yesterday. Takes a moment to edit some of the junk out. I don't edit much. I dont care enough, sorry. I hope you like it in it's rawest form. Maybe someday in then near future I will have my own outdoors hunting, fishing and adventure show. Believe it or not, a show called "OFF THE CUFFS", staring me, was pitched to Discovery Channel by Louis Lombardio and his production partner. But Discovery passed. But now I have other interested parties. Talk about my dream job. Just get paid to fish, hunt, travel, adventure, and do all the fun shit I dreamed of doing in prison. Some people think I have the right personality. I will say, if I had a camera following me and my wife all day, it would be a funny ass show. I am a giant man child As you can see from these videos, I get very passionate about the tings I am, well, passionate about. I love the outdoors. I love to battle and fight. I love nature and solitude. I hope these videos inspire you to get outside and do something fun, interesting or remarkable. Life is too short to spend it all on a device. Time is too precious to waste. Get out there. Live your dreams. If you want to go salmon fishing, hit me up, I will take you. I have had subscribers come up and make memories of a lifetime with me. Maybe you could be next.For now, enjoy. There will be more of this I promise. So if you get sick of it, sorry. There will be other stuff. Right now, I just don't care about it. God bless.

If you're not into fishing or rugged outdoor adventure you are probably at the wrong channel. Tough I post an eclectic is of content, I dial in on my obsessions when the times come. Like now. Salmon are my obsession during the run. I have a ton or work to catch on but the run lasts only few weeks. I need to get my fix while I still can. Then comes deer hunting. After that, it is work all winter, maybe toss in some snowmobiling. Going to isa this weather when the snow starts. But I'm like a bear. I hibernate and work all winter.

I am doing the videos for new subscribers who ay or may not know my past, how I ended up such a loser, in prison, and eventually what changed me. This is a lot to my story, and Make no excuses, but I think it is fair of me to at least share the type of environment I was in as a kid, which ultimately lead me down the path of Crome, violence, and self destruction,It is also proof that is never too late to redeem yourself and chance your dreams. No after what happens ion lu life from here, I feel I have already won. I have two best selling novels. I have my own line of apparel I have an amazing marriage, a beautiful home, I do all the fun things I love, aand most importantly, I have happiness. Proof that all things are possible. I give GOD the glory, for He is the one who pulled me up from the quagmire. It wasn't me. But because of HIs love, I strive to be my best me, and use the gifts that He emb9ued me with. I can't let Him down,OR the small cadre of loved ones who have supported me all these years, even while I was in prison.

I like to share these little videos from around my property to give you idea of the life I dreamed of while I was in prison. I never dreamt of fortune and fame. I don't care about those things. I'm a simple man. All I need to be happy is my wife, a trout stream, and a fishing pole. Even if I was a billionaire, I'd still be living a simple quiet life in the woods. I just might have newer toys. LOL For me, waking up to this reality everyday is a dream come true. The simple life. Before prison, I was always looking over my shoulder. In prison I was always looking over my shoulder. It was stressful and at times terrifying. I hated it. The life I live now was the life I yearned for. And it feels amazing to be living it. I am Not rich, but I live richly9 and have the means to someday be financially wealthy. Anyone who has read my books knows this. When I am, not much will change. This will always be my life. And it feels good. I hope these videos can be a reminder of what is most important in life. The simple things. Honor, happiness, integrity, love, fulfillment, achievement, and maybe a few good friends. Noting else matters. Not your car, your shoes, your online presence, none of it. Just... happiness. Fine your happiness and embrace it.

If you know me, you know fishing is one of my greatest life passsios,seacond only to writing. I wait all year for this time of year. The secret local river I fish only has a small run of fish, and a very short window to fish them.. So I obsessive them when they come in. I am very blessed that I work for myself I can break away from work to fish anytime. I am incredibly busy with mh new book andnanother project, but this is something I always make time for. ,I obsesssnto the point I dont eat, I dont shave, I don't do anything. I become a man possessed. The rush of fighting thesenfosh in a small river euphoric and drunk-like. I don't even keep them. I just revel in the battle. These fresh king salmon are gladiatosrs of the sea. Um, lake. Um, river. It is an incredible rush to land one on your own,with no net. You lose most oof them, but when you grab bye the tail, there isa sense of accomplishment that is hard to describe. I wish everyone could do it. Come see me and I'll take you. I had fans andnnew friends come up and do it. Now they look forward t9o it all year like I do Definitely addicting, Hard to video while fighting. I try my best to at least some of the battle on video, Enjoy. Kore to come..This was yesterday.Todayb I did even better. I attained a MONSTER!

This was my first day on the salmon river. Not many fish but it was fun and exciting to be out there at my happy place. Salmon are definitely one of my life passions. The run here is very short. Prime is maybe 7-10 days, and you have to time it perfectly. I know my river so well from 6 years of fishing it. Even when I lived on the Ozarks for a year, I still make the 2000 mile run north to get some fishing in. Had a great time as always. I'm headed back out now. The weather is dreary and cold, perfect for the run. My little river, about 30 min from my house, is a secret gem and rarely do I see other fishermen. The way I like it. I like having the forests to myself. I do enjoy taking friends fishing too, but I Donn't ind being alone. As you can seee, I am very much enjoying myself, and a. Brea away from the computer. I have been working 8-10 hours day between my new book and another project I'm now part of, bug always remember to wget out and enjoy life. It is too short to always work and never play. Nah, not me. Work hard, play harder. I learned that a in prison. Time. We only have so much of it. So get out there and find your happy place. This is mine. Go inspire people to live. Make memories. Virtual reality is not real. It's fake, And if all you ever do is spend you life on nick, what does that make you? Something to think about. Social media is a brain sucking waste of life, Grab a friend, go do somet8hg remarkable. Then. post it to inspire others to do the same. This is my life mission. Hope fun enjoy then video. Many more salmon videos to come over the net few weeks. If you get bored of them sorry. Don't watch. LOL It never gets old for me. The run only comes once a year, for a few days, and hit is the harbinger of winter, when besides deer hunting all I will be doing is snowmobiling and working. Such is life in northern Michigan. There is always next spring trout fishing to look forward to >OL

I wanted to share in more detail how I came to be such a knucklehead in my teens and twenties, so new subscribers can have a better understanding of how I got there, how I ended up in prison, and whyI eventually decided to change my life and get to where I am today. Normal. Sort of. Depends who you ask My wife would argue the normal part LOL

The reason why I am postponing the release of my new book. Too much at stake right now. Bigger things in the works. That's life, I guess. But I will publish it. Just not now.

A quick prayer with you and Moggie, my adorable cat. Listen to the prayer. Maybe it was for you. It was for me.. For all of those who need it. I always do. Jesus keeps me grounded, and reminds me that I am never alone. I am always forgiven and He is in control of my life. Good and bad. It all has a purpose. Live on faith. Let God do the rest. God less. Happy Sabbath

I explain why I am holding off on publishing my book. Took much at stake. You'll get it. Or won't. I just had a choice to make. Hope I picked the

A little hype video for the salmon run

This is both a sad and intense video, where Maria recounts how a few days ago she thought I had been killed while deep in the wilderness fishing in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. She held it together good for the video, as she talks, but she was hysterical only a few minutes earlier. Literally choking down tears, as she cried. This truly is one of those bizarre anomalies I've ever experienced in life. Everything had to happen perfectly for it to happen at all. We were 14 miles back in some of the most remote wilderness in the lower 48 states. We had been there several times previously, and naturally saw no one. Not a single car or sign of life. Which is the reason the little creek has huge brook trout--nobody fishing them. We kissed goodbye, and I set off on an exploratory mission. About 1.5 miles up I was hoping I could cut through the beaver swamp and find the river. Very very sketchy and dangerous. An average of 70 people a year vanish from gigs part of Michigan every year. Most just stupidly get los.t. I have come very close. The possibility of getting lost is high, unimaginable. There is nothing for many miles in every direction. There are wolves, bears, lions, and Gold only knows what else. I'll publis another video of the walk in, as I felt this one deserved to be alone. After walking close to a half mile, I suddenly started hearing a man yelling frantically across the valley. I guessed him about 1/3rd of a mile away. Very bizarre since we never see anyone out there, le alone someone yelling for dear life. Maria heard it and radioed me, but like a dumb ass I had forgotten to turn mh radio on. There wa more yelling. She thought she heard "Maria!! Help!" Yes this guy was yelling frantically for about a minute. Never knew why. Maria was freaking out. She became desperate, running up and down the trail to try to get a better signal on the radio. Twince she ran a quarter mile o the bdcige over the creek. Nothing . Radio silence. I was deep in the bush, and she was all alone back near the czar and river access point. She had been quietly hunting mushrooms when the yelling stared. She grabbed the first aid kid and began preparing for the worst. Then the yelling stopped, and she thought, tragically, I had expired. There she was, 14 miles off the already super remote road, in the wilderness. No phone signal. Alone. And in her mind, she was convinced that I had injured myself and lost my radio. "Impaled on a stick," she said, on the bottom of some cliff, bleeding out, unable to even yell anymore. Maybe I was attacked by a bear or mountain lions? Maybe wolves? Maybe I had a broken leg or back? Maria, God bless her soul, was coming to save me regardless. But what would she do? I'm a 230 lb man a half mile from the ca, on the side of.a cliff. Impossible to drag me out. No phone signal so 911 was out. She ddn't care. She was coming to save me. Now THAT is gangster. THAT is why I married her. That is why she is my forever angel from GOD! Eventually, when I made it back, she was ecstatic and balling. Every horrible scenario imaginable had flashed through her mind. Even funeral arrangements, the future of my unpublished works, on and on. Can you imagine the trauma? You think your greatest treasure, your most loved love one, is impaled on a log in the wilderness, or just attacked by a bear, bleeding out, dying, and YOU are the only hope? I hope I never experience that. I can't imagine. I don't want to imagine. Horrible. But she was a trooper. Listen to her tell the story. I make light of it, but the truth is, what we do out there , is extremely dangiouers and risky. Many bad things can happen. But for us, it is a risk we are willing to take, we love it out there that much. I tell her alll the time, if I go out this way, it's okay, I'm going out doing what I love.She gets it. It's what she loves too. Which is why we are Ying and Yang.

Larry Mazza Gives His Picks Of The Week

Today we talk censorship, YouTube, and the future

This is a funny video of around my house, prepping my deer plot for the upcoming deer season. I am super excited, but honestly not that hopeful of scoring a bigger buck than last year. Which is my goal. I will Not harvest a buck unless he is bigger than my previous buck. Which means a 3.5 year old or better. And I will admit, those bucks are usually smarter than my skill level. If I had more property,I might have a chance. But since all I have is 20 acres, I have to do my best to make the habituate attractive to does, and hope the bucks will come around in rut and not make me in the tree. They will, but hopefully I get a clear shot before one busts me. I give myself a 10% chance. Still, I love being ou there with the deer, so I win regardless. I still have plenty of meat from last year. NO need to even harvest a doe unless one of my friends needs the meat, in which case I would be happy to harvest a mature doe. I just love being in the woods, watching the deer. It is my passion and happy place. I hope that some of you watch this and are inspired to get out and discover your passion, and find your happy place. The sense of joy and peace is truly priceless. This is what I dreamed about in prison. Now I am literally living the dream. God is Great!

I chronicle my adventures not to say "look at me," I do it for you, with the hopes that maybe you will remember how fun living in the real world is. Watch this view through. Look and see the genuine glee on my face when I land that hog brook trout, a fish that is only 14" inches long, and yet a trophy class fish for anyone who knows brook trout. I was so excited I was literally shaking. All alone on the wilderness, living my dreams. Yes this was my dream while in prison. I didn't think about Lambos and mansions from my books. I dreamed of this video, being alone (or with a good friend) in the deep wilderness, catching those tiny little amazing fish. I had only done it twice before prison, but had fallen head over heels in love with it. The setting, the ambiance. the smell. It is sop special. Big brookies are literally THE hardest fish to catch in fresh water. Hands down. And it takes a well honed set of skills to do it. Requires a LOT of hard work. But the reward is immense. Just being there is the ultimate reward, with God, in His bedroom. I drove my enduro dirt bike 50 miles there, then 6 miles in off the highway down a remote wooded trail, and then a mile hike in. And finally, magic. My happy place. The peace, serenity and solitude is the prize. Catching fish is just icing. Then after a few hours of my paradise, I drove 50 miles on my bike as the sun set in the review mirror behind me. Spectacular. I could not ask for a better day. And even if I struck it rich, got a movie deal for my books, I would be doing the same exact thing. Just more of it. Right now, I have to work my ass off and earn. But someday, hopefully soon, I won't have to worry about money. And on that day, you will see me doing a LOT of brook trout fishing. Why? It is my happy place. My passion. My obsession. My love. I just look forward to sharing it with more friends and loved ones. That is also my dreams. To have the funds to where money won't be a factor. Everything is on me. Those people know who they are. Genuine supporters. Everyone else, all I can do is hope to inspire you to live. To chase dreams, learn from failures. forget negative people, and never relent till they win. IN then meantime, life is out there to love! This day of fishing cost me $6 in gas and $6 in bait. But the memory was priceless. I will never forget this day. And my goal is to help you get to your happy place where you can experience days like this. But doing what YOU love. It is so easy to get sucked into drama and negativity on social media. What a waste of time and energy. I refuse to do it any longer. My time is too valuable. eople can think what they want of us. Matters none. Get outside and live, in the real world. I'm appreciative that you enjoy me, my stories and these adventures, but forget me. Just allow me to inspire you. You have your own passions and dreams and talents. Use them before it is too late. People die all then time. We are getting older by the day. Don't look back with regret and say, "Man, I wasted so much time on social media or wherever, and now I'm too old to go do all the things I always wanted to do." Be the guy who looks back and says, "Hell yeah. I lived!" You will have the memories as proof. They may not be chronicled in a YT video or in some fed file pf court document, LOL, but you will know what you did. And the people with you will know. In the end, that is all that matters. We don't live for other people. We live for us and our loved ones. So put the phone down, find your happy place and get there. LIVE! LOVE! ENJOY! Tick tock. No time to waste. I guess I have a more special appreciation for time. I lost 13 yers to a prison cell. I swore I would always live life to the fullest, as long as I could. And I am keeping my word. I hope this video brings you a little entertainment and joy, but more importantly, it inspires you to live! Go make memories. Love people. Forget negative people, haters and non factors. They will always be miserable people. Not many truly happy people. Be one of them. I feel like I have already won the greatest prize on earth--happiness and peace. Find yours. I will support you, whoever you are. God bess!

I wanted to drop a series of videos that will give new subscribers a better look at my life and childhood, what ,Ade me turn down the wrong path, and what led me to a life of crime and, ultimately, prison, being a writer, and redemption. I think it is important for people to understand the origins of me, and what I was up against as a kid. Im[ossible odds. This isn't a pity party. This is just to illustrate what I was up against as a child and young man. when you hear about it, you will have a better understanding as to why I need up in prison, and why life is so special to me today;
