Went back to the lake where I got lucky. My daughter lost a bigger one on my ultralight but caught this one on my medium action rod. We got caught in a light rain that turned heavy. Then lightning hit about 400 yds away, thankfully on land. We got off the lake and on shore until it all passed. Went back out and then she hooked the Smallies. It was a fun day with memories.

Nice catching Bob and daughter. Be very careful around that lighting buddy! Thanks for sharing.

That one caught us by surprise. The sky was clearing up, just a sprinkle falling, then out of nowhere the Crack and thunder at once. I pulled the trolling motor, fired up the outboard and ran to the dock. I don't want to find out what lightning would feel like in an aluminum boat, even with the Plywood decking. Thanks we will be careful in the future. Don't believe your phone when it says nearest lightning 10 miles away. They lie. Lol

I don't want to either Bob. Metal boat, in the water, graphite rod in hand, and lightening. Not a good combination. I don't trust my phone for much of anything.
