Fried him up with some House Autry and redfish magic seasoning, with baby red potatoes with fresh parsley and garlic butter and some Jiffy corn muffins. :beer: Had a great time with the family even though the boy got a bit fussy toward the end. Left them chewin' at about 12:30. No big boys to speak of, but a great day all around. Can't wait to get back out there next weekend.
