One More Cast… Then Lightning Hit (Is it safe to fish in lightning)

These are lightning fishing stories you won’t forget—some personal, some from my years guiding on Lake Fork, and a few that’ll straight up chill you. If you’ve ever wondered, “is it safe to fish in lightning?” I used to think so… until I got hit. Twice.

You ever stay too long on the lake chasin’ a bite—knowing full well a storm’s rolling in?
Yeah… me too. More than once.

From floating line and buzzing rods to real stories of lives lost and boats blown apart, this one dives deep into the dark side of our diehard fishing mindset—the pride, the addiction, and the price.

If you’ve ever fished through thunder just for “one more cast,” this one’s for you.
