Tweetlightning scares the crap out of me. we were bass fishing one time and I cast. my crankbait hit the water and i had a little backlash so i was pulling line off the spool. my buddy said "WTF!" my line was kind of floating in the air instead of laying on the water (it was spectra braid maybe it is conductive?)
i dropped my fishing rod in the boat and we heard a CRASH! lightning struck a tree on the bank not 20 yards from where we were.
we ran back, trailered the boat and drank beer the rest of the day.
