RedactedNarrative: The passenger was on shore relating the incident to the trooper. The passenger and victim rented a paddle boat from campgrounds-r-us and they were having problems getting it back to shore so the victim took off his clothes, didn't put a pfd on and jumped into the water and tried to push the vessel to shore.
  
   The victim started getting water in his mouth, got distressed and went under water. He came up from under the water and the passenger threw him a life vest. The victim wasn't able to grab the pfd and he went under again. 
  
  The passenger jumped into the water to help same him without a pfd either. She couldn't find him and started screaming for help. A person from shore started to swim toward the vessel as she approached the scene she swam past the pfd and saw the passenger struggling, a kayaker and a pontoon were near and the kayaker assisted getting the passenger to the pontoon and to shore. Search and rescue started searching for the victim and he was later found. A witness stated that it was very windy and not good conditions for this vessel to be out on the lake, or at least it would be hard to maneuver.
