walleyemen Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Decided to hit late erie today with a good friend for some fall monster smallies, weather is overcast with a chance of showers, fish most of the morning with limited success, around 1:00 p.m a small rainshower starts but some thing weird is happening, evertime i lift my rod its making a buzzing sound, the more i move it the louder it gets, i look over to my buddy Rick and low and behold all the loose threads on his rain jacket hood are sticking straight up in the air, to top it off we cast out and our braid line will not lay down but is arching 20 feet into the air, we were totally freaked out but just as fast as it started it stopped, our lines dropped and everything was o.k, honestly i think we escaped maybe a possible lightening strike, very weird for sure! some pics!!
