RedactedNarrative: At 19:42 on 09/06/2020 I Game Warden was contacted by the caretaker of Lake Kahola who informed there had been an accident involving two vessels on Lake Kahola at or around 19:00. I arrived at Lake Kahola Morris County Kansas at 20:23 to visit with both parties involved to get information and statements. 
  
  I interviewed the operator of the Yellow Mastercraft Vessel which was the Give Way and Striking vessel. The operator who I identified as Operator1 stated he was towing his daughter who was water skiing. Operator1 said his wife, Father in-law, mother in-law, and son were aboard his vessel during the time of accident. 
  
  Operator1 said he was traveling in a counterclockwise rotation as directed by the Homeowner Association Rules. Operator1 stated he was outside of the buoys that allowed wake speed on the south side of lake. Operator1 believed he was going around ten miles an hour. The traffic on the water had some congestion with a Personal Watercraft following closely behind his daughter causing some apprehension for her safety.  
  
  With Operator1 concerned for his daughter safety he began to look back and forth between views of watching where he was going and watching his daughter behind his vessel. During this time frame Operator1 observed a Pontoon in his immediate path and was unable to direct his vessel to clear water and struck the Pontoon Vessel in a side swiping force. 
  
  After the accident in fear of his vessel sinking Operator1 picked up his daughter out of the water and returned to his dock. Operator1 concurred the accident happened at 19:00. Operator1 stated he believed the pontoon was outside of the buoys and should not have been adrift, floating on the lake according to lake association rules. I gathered Operator1''s information and occupant''s information and released them from the scene. 
  
  I next visited with Operator2 who was the owner of the pontoon vessel that was the Stay On vessel and the one that had been struck. Operator2 said he had taken out his wife and her 4 friends out on the lake so they could have fun and float. Operator2 said he had been on the water for about two hours. 
  
  Operator2 said they had been letting the wind drift them with the motor shutoff. Operator2 stated the were outside of the flow traffic on the inside of the buoys. Operator2 stated his vessel was facing toward the dam which would be an eastern direction from where there were on the lake. 
  
  Operator2 stated from the operators position he could not see the traffic behind him, but his occupant could since they were facing sideways and rearward in the pontoon boat. Operator2 Stated he saw several of the groups faces change to fear and heard them say a boat was going to hit them. 
  
  Operator2 said he cranked the wheel of boat trying to straighten out the pontoon before the collision happened.  
  
  Operator2 stated one of the occupants received whiplash and fell backwards breaking the table leg on the pontoon. Operator2 said there were two nurses on board who checked on that occupant and at the time of the interview that occupant had refused treatment. 
  
  Operator2 said a Personal Watercraft occupied by an adult male and a child stopped to see of both parties were alright and if there were any injuries. Operator2 Stated he believed Operator1''s vessel was traveling 15 to 20 miles an hour. Operator2 agreed the incident happened around 19:00 and he took his pontoon back the dock shortly after the incident. 
  
  During the interview with both Operator2 and Operator1 they both agreed on the time of the accident, direction of travel and the general location on the lake except for on what side of the no wake buoys the incident happen on.
