Makes you feel ALIVE.... I've been caught in it quite a few times through the years....being older and a tad wiser they don't sneak up on me like they used to.. seen some fantastic fishing during the storms though... and like you said totally shut down after the front passed...

I remember one night I had a charter out and a nasty one came through... the guy's were doubling up 20 lb class fish on every cast.... lighting was dancing from mast to mast on the sail boats.. they didn't want to leave... finally when the antennae on the boat started to hum I pulled the plug...back at the dock... his alarm went off on the truck... some how the lighting had enabled it leaving him stranded... he had to call for a tow back to western mass....he called me the next day and told me it was the best fishing trip of his life but the on board computer in his truck was fried....

A good run is better than a bad stand!
