Just to be clear, I'm not advocating fishing in lightning. Immediately after I caught and revived this fish I had to stop and hunker down in a cold rocky hole getting drenched for an hour and a half (while the tide and fish drained away) until the worst of it passed. Did manage a couple of more fish around 20 after that, but missed the best chance b/o the storm. Cloud cover on a full moon with a front approaching is a good time to fish.........provided you have the self discipline to stop before it is too late. Lot easier said than done if you are into decent fish.

By the time it let up where I wanted to fish the tide was half gone and so was the water... I started just as soon as it ended but it was a waste of time & effort.

BTW, thats a real nice fish George!
