RedactedNarrative: On 05/17/2019 operator was fishing at the mouth of Flat Creek on Lake Lanier.  Operator was leaving the area and while he bent over to pull the trolling motor back in the boat he felt a sharp pain in his left hip area.  The pain caused him to drop to his knees and resulted in falling over board.  Operator was wearing a type IV PFD that deployed shortly after he had fallen over board which kept him afloat.  He was then able to make his way to the stern of the boat to attempt to lift himself with the motor by using the trim.  When this did not work he looked around and notice another vessel close by and yelled for help.  The other vessel occupied by two male subjects made their way to Operator and assisted him into his boat.  Once Operator was in his boat the two subjects towed his boat back to Old Federal Boat Ramp where EMS personal was standing by to transport Operator to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Braselton for his injury.  Operator suffered from a dislocated left hip.
