I wonder if you could do something similar with underground storage in a mine?

Not really enough volume you could only use the lowest levels, and even the largest mines are dwarfed by small lakes. You'd have to put the generators and pumps at the bottom where they'd be easily submerged.

Typically pumped storage uses two lakes, one high and one low. But points for creative thinking :)
