The occupants of the vessel were fishing on the lake. When they first started out on the boat a discussion between the 2 occupants occurred and it was decided that Operator could not swim & the victim could not swim very well, so Operator would wear the life jacket. Operator was sitting on a raised seat in the bow wearing the life jacket when at some point he decided to take it off.  Victim wanted to switch places so he could sit in the raised seat to take a picture.  Victim stood up & started reeling in his fishing pole and the boat started to rock due to the high winds.  The boat tipped over & both subjects were thrown in the water. Both victims were trying to swim when Victim threw the life jacket to Operator who grabbed it & held on. Operator did not see what happened to Victim but noticed he was drifting farther away because of the wind.  Operator was rescued.
