Haha, you know you are in trouble when you cast and your rod turns into a lightsaber! Whoooosh, whoooooosh!!

Nice catch.

Dude, you are not an idiot, and sorry if you thought I was implying you were. I'm just saying I'm a big chicken (I'd say wuss if I knew how to spell it) when it comes to lightning! Besides, I enjoyed the pics!

I was kidding. I didnt take offense to anyone's statements. I was just poking fun at myself for being, well......an idiot!

I got shocked and Greg this year a few time with my big trolling rods. Kept arcing shocks. Scared crap outta us lol. No lightening close by us either just big storm.

I have seen that happen a couple of times but always with a metal boat. Once David and I were fishing in separate boats very near a storm and David was unable to pick up a rod.....it would just shock the crap out of him with visible arcs. I think he even got a blister from trying! I was in my Triton fiberglass and had no problem. Needless to say, we left the water.
