Well, I've been in Kuwait for about 5 weeks now.  Last weekend, my wife took the kids down to Savannah, and my boy Andrew (10) insisted on a trip to the BPS.  Here's a funny note he sent me today:

 

"Hey. This is Andrew. Mom told me to tell you what I got at BPS. So this is what I got : RAGE TAIL Rage Anaconda(s), Rapala Shallow Shad Rap, And That Polka Dot Vibrac Rooster Tail. I was going to get: Yum Yumphibians, And Strike King Space Monkey(s). Instead, Mom is going to get the Yums at Cebalas, and the space monkeys at BPS.Well, nice time talkin' to ya! Thanks for the post-card!"

 

I think he's worse than me already! I'm proud that this has rubbed off on him, and I can't wait to get back home so we can hit the water. Just thought I'd share the funny story. Yall stay safe.

Kuwait huh? YOU stay safe anyway that's a great note from your boy. Mines only 4 but I hope he gets the fever sometime soon. Thanks for sharing.

He is hooked already. Sounds like he will have plenty of stuff for you guys to try when you get home.

Thanks.  Kuwait is very safe...just extremely hot and sucks to be away from home.  I'm from South GA, but I lived in Knoxville for a couple years.  I love East Tennessee.  Take care.

How cool is that the kids is stocking the tackle box while your gone. Sure hope someone is taking him fishing while your gone.

My son was in that same spot but now its girls and x-box

 

enjoy and stay cool there!!!

Great story. Post some pics of what you and he catch when you get back to the states.

 

Next thing we will read is that he wants a G. Loomis NRX for Christmas paired with a Shimano Core 50.

 

The kid has some class and we all should be proud of him.

 

You come on home safe and sound.

 

As we said at the LSU ROTC - nuke them till they glow green!

have a buddy that likes to take his kids to bps and he always tells them ok go get one thing and they always seem to come back with lucky craft or some 15 dollar bait lol they have snuck them in a couple times and got to get them
