Something makes me think that Bobad might be correct, what was in the water that attracted the lightning may have been the thing that absorbed the heat and killed the fish. Think about one of those big oak trees that some of you have as structure or that old Case tractor?. The milisecond thing is not exactly true in all cases, at least in some flashes I have seen, both here and in Tennessee. One bolt will fill the sky, attracting others with all grounding in the same spot. Here they sometimes look like spiderwebs. The thunder that follows is pretty awssome as well.
