RedactedNarrative: Vessel A was drift fishing approximately 150 yards south of the handicapped dock.  Operator of Vessel A stated his kayak had a hole in the hull that gave it a tendency to take on water and he has to dump it occasionally when using it.  
  
  Operator hooked and landed a fish when his kayak had enough water in it to make it unstable.  As operator attempted to put his catch in a fish basket he lost his balance and capsized.  
  
  The operator's foot became entangled with the rope that tethered the fish basket to the kayak and had difficulty keeping his head above water.  Witnesses assisted in getting him to shore where CPR compressions revived him prior to EMT arrival.  Operator taken to local hospital.
