Lightning Strikes in Front of Fishing Boat on Lake Athens, Texas
Sixteen-year-old Tucker Owings was fishing on Lake Athens on Saturday afternoon when a storm blew up on their boat.

"We were literally feeling what I would describe as static on our rods," said Tucker. "At that point we quickly started to head to the ramp.

Suddenly, lightning sizzled through the air just a few yards in front of their boat. The strike was captured on Tucker's GoPro camera, which was mounted on the boat's windshield.

"I am one of the youngest professionals in the fishing industry and just learned a very important lesson," Tucker said. "I am thankful God protected us."

Lake Athens is located about 30 miles southwest of Tyler.

Damn, that would scare the shit outta me. Being out in the open, nowhere to hide, and lightning so close.
