THESE TWO SAVED MY DAD AND I
This is Taryn and Andy. They saw the accident happen, and saved my dad from drowning, and started working on me, as well as called 911. Andy is a disabled war veteran from Iraq.

Recovered and doing well! Minimal arm scarring
Just above my elbow is the only other spot on my arm.

Holes in the floor of the boat
The lightning exited my feet and entered the boat. There were holes burnt into the carpet from the lightning.
Change that was in my pocket

Do you play the lottery, cause you probably should

I assume the whole ordeal wasn't an electrifying experience as expected.

On a serious note, what did it actually feel like when you got struck? Or do you not remember?

So you don't get super powers after being struck by lightning? Back to the drawing board.

"fuck these two in particular"
ZombieTrooper
when you get the shivers and your hair is standing upright, get the hell out of there cause it means an electrical shock is incoming
xxeasterbunnyxx
There was none of this. No warning
Hooter
I'm shocked that you both survived! Glad you're ok and still want to fish!

You got hit directly, what happened to your dad? Any injuries to him? Glad you're both still with us and able to do what you love.

You're a cool guy, since I don't really use Reddit.

Proof that there should sometimes be exceptions horsepower restrictions on lakes
xxeasterbunnyxx
I think all HP restrictions are dumb. Just put idle speed only for boats over certain HP
GoddammitMrNoodle
I thought the post took an odd turn at the S&M toys until I read it was a fishing rod. Crazy! Glad you both made it.

There was some black but also little pin holes everywhere where it exited.
