RedactedNarrative: On 8 July 2020, Operator 1 and his friend was fishing on Watts Bar Lake at Caney Creek when they noticed their boat taking on water. Operator 1 turned on the bilge pump but water was still coming in. He headed in by using the trolling motor but was unable to reach the bank before the boat sank, and they had to swim to the bank which was about 15 feet and the water was less than 8 feet deep. A passing boat came by and gave them a ride back to the boat ramp, and it is here where he called the TWRA main office in Crossville to report the incident. I officer  received the call about 11:30 and arrived on scene approximately 11:50. This all occurred on Watts Bar Lake in Roane County.
