RedactedNarrative: Watercraft #1 was fishing upstream using a trolling motor. WC #1 had a patio umbrella up for shade from the sun and the operator was wearing a white long sleeve shirt. Watercraft #2 was traveling upstream at approximately 20 mph and collided with the rear of WC #1. Operator #1 stated he saw WC #2 quickly approaching him and it did not appear that Operator #2 saw him so he stood up, yelled and waved his arms to try to get Operator #2's attention. Operator #1 stated this was not working and he knew his boat was going to get hit, so he jumped overboard. As he jumped overboard, he was hit on his upper leg/hip area but did not know what hit him. Operator #1 was able to swim to the surface of the water, found his throwable PFD that was now floating in the water and swam to shore. 
  
  Operator #2 stated he was not distracted, had not been drinking alcohol, but simply did not see WC #1 ahead of him. Operator #2 had his dog with him in the boat. Operator #2 stated he was traveling approximately 20 mph when the crash occurred.
  
  Alcohol was not a factor and life jackets were not being worn in either boat. Operator #1 was checked on scene by EMS but declined transport to a hospital. There was damage to both watercraft. Operator #2 was cited for careless operation.
