Man, that's sad, he didn't make it. Ya, I was out there when the rain moved in. As soon as I got back to the ramp, the rain stopped. I went back out but the lighting and thunder forced me back to the ramp. I think it's safe to say I'm will not be fishing lake Okeechobee on June 8th. Ironically enough, it was June 8th (noontime) last year, when that other angler was struck and killed by lighting to. R.I.P to both.
p.s Sorry for hijacking your thread, Shane.
