Hit by lightning article

Came across this article guys.Fishing can be risky business in foul weather.These people where lucky indeed.

Had one of the scariest moments of my life yesterday. Emily Paige Coffey Jared Essman Gage Royer Chris Jensen and myself are all so blessed to be alive. We were catching bait in Jupiter Florida when my rod Cousins Tackle got struck by a bolt of lightning! Emily was sitting on the seat that got struck and I'm pretty sure if it wasn't for my Grundéns slicker jacket she was wearing there would have been a different out come. I can not describe how lucky I feel that no one was hurt. I think my boat is going to be out of commission for a while though.. I definitely have a new found respect for Mother Nature. Being stuck in the middle of a lightning storm with no power to anything after being struck was the most helpless feeling in the world! Lesson learned. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Be careful out there in storms guys.
