RedactedNarrative: On 9-8-2012 at 0828 dispatch called me at home and advised me there was a vessel sinking with one person on it on St. George Sound and they needed me to respond. I told them I would get dress and be 10-51. I was hooking to the 29 foot impact when dispatch called back and advised me the vessel had sunk and the subject was in the water. I launched the impact at Dockside Marina and headed to the location where the vessel sank. The seas were 5-6 feet and the wind was approx. 20 knots. When I arrived at the area where the vessel sank I called dispatch and advised them I was 10-97 the area. I called dispatch and asked if we had a pilot working they advised we did not. The waves were so high I knew it would be difficult to spot the subject from a vessel. I started running west and spotted something floating in the water, it was the subject I was looking for; he was clinging onto the bottom of his sunken Vessel. I pulled up alongside him and he climbed onto my vessel. The rescued subject said he was headed to St. George Island when he started taking on water so he pulled his plug out to drain the water out of his vessel and his motor cut off and he started taking waves over the stern and the vessel capsized and he climbed onto the sunken vessel. He said he was fishing in the trout tournament they were having in Lanark Village. I took subject back to the boat ramp in Carrabelle he had no injuries.
