Flair, as a storm chaser I have seen this happen before. It is very common for lightning to strike well ahead of a thunderstorm, especially during late spring and summer in the plains region (including Nebraska, Texas, etc. You may not even see rain or dark clouds but lightning could still strike. Because you are typically the highest point in a open surface, (i. e. on a boat on a lake) at the first point you hear any thunder you should be on the lookout or even get off the lake. Also, make sure to pay attention to local forecasts (New Stations/NWS are the best. This type of lightning is typical with severe weather and could strike over 60 miles away from the thunderstorm. This actually happened earlier this spring in Kansas.

Its really odd that you had this happen to you because last night standing in my kitchen with my wife eating crabs I started to feel a static feeling, my wife was sitting and her feet were dangling but I was standing so my feet were on the ground, I turned to her and said get away from the window and less then a half second after later our row of townhomes was struck by lightning, and I felt a shock go through the house and a bolt of white light traveled through the whole house. Power went out for a while. It was crazy lol

Friend was fishing with a buddy. The buddy got hit by a bolt of lighting just as he casted out a lure. Line and lure for that couple of seconds did not drop to the water. Friend looked at him and ask if he was ok Buddy's response was two words. NO Hospital that was all he said. When they got to land is when they saw the lighting blow the part of his sneakers over the toes off. It was sunny where they where, and the Thunder Storm was 10 miles north top of the lake from them.

Down here in Florida, the lightning capital where it can be sunny one minute, t-storm the next, then back to sunny in a matter of 15 minutes. If you regularly fish, especially wade fishing in the flats for reds, you'll experience the hum about once or twice a year if you're dedicated. It is scary though, sometimes you'll hear a ringing with it and you're hair will stand up, that's when it really gets sketchy.

You technically didn't get hit by lightning. What most likely happened was the lightning struck the water or near and it traveled through the water and up your line into your pole. - The lightning/static went through the water ON the line, not the line itself as it's not conductive. If you got directly hit by lightning, you would DEFINITELY know it (or be dead)

Nope you didn't get struck buddy Although you was close That's called lightning gradient It travels through the ground, in this case the water, and was still powerful enough to jump to the rod Actually pretty lucky. You would either be dead or burnt badly had it struck you my friend. Ijs It's a real problem here in Georgia And happens all the time

I never knew that the buzzing and the tingling you talked about meant lighting, I always assumed it was just a build up of static electric from an approaching or passing storm. I'm glad I watched this because it's happened to me several times so I'm off to research this. Thanks for sharing
