RedactedNarrative: On April 1, 2012, at approximately 2156 hours, there was a distress call put out over channel 16 (VHF) of an injured person on a vessel grounded in the Black Point Channel.  This incident was never reported to FWC.  I was able to contact the owner of the vessel through the information gathered by USCG.  The owner/operator stated he was returning to Black Point boat ramp when he veered off the channel and was grounded on the rocks on the North side of the channel.  He was approached by a Good Samaritan in a small flats boat (unknown registration) who offered to help pull V1 out of the rocks.  Good Samaritan (V2) tossed a line to V1 in which occupant held on to the line with his hand,instead of tying the line to a cleat while V2 tried pulling them out.  As a result of this occipant suffered a laceration to his right hand which required four stitches.  The attempt to free V1 from the rocks was unsuccessful, at this time the owner/operator of V1 contacted Tow Boat US who assisted in freeing V1.  The injured occupant was taken to Black Point boat ramp where they were met by Fire Rescue and transported the victim to Jackson Hospital.  V1 sustained no damage as a result of the grounding.;
