That's nice to read as I'm sitting in a dock waiting out a storm

Fish are biting like crazy though...

And the pleasure boaters have all evacuated.

Update--it was a guided trip near the Indian Creek marina. The male customer died. Stay in the dock until the sparks stop... Nice fish, but I can't read the bag besides the color.

It is allegedly a Zoom Mag 11 plastic worm bag that he was catching fish on. I suspect there was something else at play myself like a big jig with a large fat trick worm attached to it. I think hecis trying to throw us off the trail.

Truely a tragedy.

I bet the guide feels bad. And fortunate.

Wrench......

You're a nut. Lol!!

That is scary stuff. I try to never fish if there's thunder. Prays go out to the family though. Really a shame. Poor guy was just trying to fish.

Man Beaver is a tough lake this week.

Wrench take some beef jerky next time, you won't have to snack on the Zooms.

Im bucking for a sponsorship deal

Seriously though, If I could choose the way I was gonna die then a lightning hit while fishing would be about the best way to go I think.

When I get a little nearer to my last days I'm gonna start fishing in every thunderstorm that rolls through here.
