It has been tried but capacitors large enough to trap that much energy has never been produced. We should be able to shed excess energy and trap the rest but not yet.

While science is working on this problem, technology hasn't reached the point to take advantage of this tremendous amount of power,yet.
According to the site I am providing,the main problem is storing the energy.

Another difficulty encountered is getting the apparatus to the lightning or getting the lightning to the apparatus.

We are now doing this. It still is in its infancy. What they are doing is storing the energy in batteries but our technology with batteries are not where we can store enough power to amount to any thing yet. We are getting there.
