Texas angler Tucker K. Owings and an unnamed companion experienced the fright of a lifetime Saturday afternoon when a bolt of lightning struck immediately in front of their boat on Lake Athens.

The event was captured on a GoPro camera and the accompanying footage shows just how close the lightning was to the front of the boat.

Been guilty as charged a few times in my fishing career..... Had a guy in a tournament in Illinois on lake Clinton take a lightning bolt too his trolling motor running across the lake too get back too the ramp during a storm.... That gave him some pucker factor...... Fried he motor and put a nice little hole in the bow..... Nothing too mess with.....
