    Just a reminder to all to get off the water immediately if a storm is rolling in. I was at Lost Bridge Marina when the boat came in with this young man that got struck on the water. Contrary to popular belief you can get struck in a fiberglass boat. Sad story.

    Article says they were in a tin boat, but still too bad! I get off the water if I hear thunder, I did see a "bolt out of the blue" one time while I was fishing in Canada. Scary!

    Yeah I was there....my point is to the glass boat guys to know we can get zapped just like a fella in a metal boat.
