On 7-3-10 at 7:10 a.m. operator was traveling west in Little Bayou Pigeon. He was following behind another vessel in a right hand curve when his vessel got caught on the wake of the vessel in front of him.  This caused operator's vessel to veer to the right, as the vessel got closer to the bank it struck a submerged object causing his vessel to swerve to the right and run onto the bank.  The bow of his vessel struck a large tree ejecting operator out of the vessel and onto the ground in front of the vessel.  operator was wearing his PFD at type 3.
