Actually, I have.
I have been in the Uinta's where the storms move in real fast. The hair on my arms will stand up, but that was about it.
BUT, one trip to my favorite lake, we were out on the water. It was a rainy day, but no thunder or lightening so we felt safe.
It was around noon so we headed in to camp for lunch. It was raining pretty good by then but still no T & L.
On my pontoon, I carry three rods (one with floating and two with different sink rate lines...easier than trying to change in the middle of the lake)
Well, I had all three rods in their Scotty holders on the deck behind me, and I began to row. I kept hearing this clicking. I looked at my walkie -talkie but it was off, looked at the sonar, but nothing. The clicking was still there.
I thought maybe the fly had come unhooked from one of the rods and the reel was slowly having line pulled out.
I reached back and grabbed one of the rods, and darn near flew out of my seat from the shock. To top it off, two rods were Graphite, but the one that shocked me was Fiberglass.
