Looks like they are about to get hammered. I wonder why they didn't reschedule....

Radar looks like they may catch a break between now and 3 ish. They are gonna be wet for sure but hopefully captains did the right thing in any lighting they got this am.

I dont see how the large cell going across 20 right now could possibly miss them. Got a few buddies out there. Said lots of wind and rain and are about to get pummeled. They both said staying glued to radars just try to be as safe as they can be.

I use the wapp weather app and it's been known to suck so I could be totally wrong. Green radar doesn't bother me much, the reds and yellow out west can be nasty

Big yellow and red cell about to hit the entire lake. Hope nobody gets hit with lightening.

The west side of fort worth has been getting pounded. If they got this I'm sure it wasn't a good time.

I was a boat captain today on PK today. I volunteer my time to be a captain. I have fished tournaments for 30 years and if there was ever one to be postponed because of weather then it was this one. All day thunderstorms have been forecasted for more than a week. Thunderstorms equal lightning. Wind is one thing but lightning is a killer. The majority of the teams bailed by noon. I bailed at 12:45 when I decided the cells coming in were just too dangerous to be on the water. No I’m not a sore loser. My kids finished high up and we were on the fish to win if they could have finished out the day. Not only was the lightning a danger but these kids are not equipped to fish all day in driving rain with the temps in the low 50s. They can’t afford 100mph suits with rubber boots. Common sense has completely gone out the window. These are kids and they should not be put at risk under those conditions. They would not have played a HS school football game under those conditions but it’s okay to out on a lake with a lightning rod in your hand?

Yeah, pretty stupid that it wasn't called. TD needs to be questioned on that. Rain and wind is one thing, but add lightning to it and that's when it becomes dangerous.

Wow, that many kids in a thunderstorm. Automatic TD firing. Seriously.

The most experienced bass fishermen in the world wouldn’t have been allowed to fish in those conditions yet you have 255 captains some seasoned some not even close and 300 plus kids prob most not in proper gear fishing in rain, wind and lightening. I guess we are teaching the future generation that we are invincible
