Hey all, happy 5th of July! Wow, what a party up here on Rock Creek!
We didn't have the daily report from the boats because things were getting going around 6pm at the house and guests were already filtering in. And I had a ton of work to do! (I wasn't the only one!)
Yesterday's blog has lots of photos of the prep for the smoked pig, and a couple casting contest shots. I'll throw in some more photos here, and caption them best I can!
Tyler and Jeff cut the chicken wire wrap off the pig after we pulled it out of the smoker:
