VICTIM AND HER HUSBAND HAD BEEN FISHING OVER NIGHT AND AS THEY PREPARED TO LEAVE THE COVE, THEY TRIED TO PULL THE ANCHOR UP, BUT IT WAS STUCK. OPERATOR STATED HE HAD MOVED THE BOAT AND RELIEVED THE PRESSURE ON THE LINE AND PUT THE BOAT INTO NEUTRAL. THE VICTIM WRAPPED THE ANCHOR LINE AROUND HER HAND TO TRY AND PULL IT UP.   IN THE PROCESS A LARGE WAVE HIT THE BOAT AND THE VICTIM WAS UNABLE TO GET ALL OF HER HAND UNWRAPPED FROM THE LINE. THE BOAT ROSE ON THE WAVE AND AMPUTATED THE TIP OF HER RIGHT RING FINGER AND AVULSED THE INDEX FINGER.

THE SUBJECTS LEFT THE ANCHOR AND BOATED ACROSS THE LAKE TO THE PAYNETOWN RAMP. WHEN I ARRIVED THEY WERE TIED TO THE DOCK. I BOARDED AND ADMINISTERED FIRST AID UNTIL BLOOMINGTON AMBULANCE ARRIVED. THE VICTIM WAS TRANSPORTED TO BLOOMINGTON HOSPITAL WHERE SHE WAS TREATED AND RELEASED.
