I have had some close lightnig strikes when I have stayed to long on the lake when you see a storm coming.
The most uneasy feeling that I have ever had was about 20 years ago...My brother and I were casting from the boat up to a rocky shoreline as a storm was moving in. The walleyes were taking dragonfly larvi that were climbing up on the rocks to hatchout, the fishing was fantastic one after another. On one of my casts the jig hit the water about six inches from the shoreline and I watched in amazment when my line never settled to the water ..It hug in the same ark that you see when the hook first hits the water. I still remember the look on my brothers face when he said all right , all right thats it we got to get off the lake. I agreed.
I have no good explaination except other than the storm.
