First Big catch!

Saturday...John, Ron, Reid and Chandler went offshore looking for tuna. This time they found some! They caught their limit. No other fish out there(mahi, that is) but they were thrilled to finally find some big yellow fin tuna. John's not trying to look tough...he's having trouble holding the two fish while I was trying to take his picture. haha
cooler full of fish...haven't seen that sight since two springs ago.
Ra and the girls had to come check out the fish. We tried to get them to stand next to the big ones to compare their sizes...but they got shy. This is the closest we could get them to the fish. well...after a few minutes Olivia decided to touch one. :) As you can see John was putting on the goofy face for the photo.
C and the fish bag...ready to start cleaning.
Cleaning table full of tuna!
When the word got out about the big catch...everyone had to come see for themselves. And as usual...John invited people over for a cookout and sushi rolling party. The weather was perfect!
Pat volunteered to make the rice and roll some sushi. Mike R. was in charge of the grill...a slice of seared teriyaki tuna...tastes just like fillet Mignon! Ben also grilled some fish.
Once Pat started rolling the sushi...she had a few volunteers. Eddie, Amy, John M., Pat G. gave it a try...they rolled...we all ate. We had cucumbers, carrots, avocados and as the evening progressed...we got creative. Theresa had brought cream cheese with Spicy Pineapple Rum sauce from Pampered Chef. It was good on crackers....and then Ron suggested we add it to the sushi...Eddie complied and it was tasty. I think we are all going to be ordering Pampered Chef 's Spicy Pineapple Rum sauce!
we all enjoyed the afternoon/evening, the great fresh food and assorted salads ( that Denise and Theresa brought) and the dessert...of course! Fruit salad and lemon-coconut pound cake.
We were inside (March Madness on TV) and outside...talking, laughing, listening to the music. I think about 25 people came by in all...some came and went quickly...others stayed all evening. We all had fun!
