RedactedNarrative: To men were fishing on Elwood reservoir on the west side of the lake. As the wind came up the two men decided they needed to get back to the boat ramp.  
  
  As they were travelling across the lake then encountered a large wave that swamped the vessel.  Both men made it to the front of the boat and got life jackets.  
  
  When they were within approximately 150 yards from shore decided to swim to shore.  As he was swimming across the lake he looked back, and the passenger was no longer visible on the boat.  
  
  The operator yelled back to the passenger to ask where he was and the passenger yelled back that he was taking in a lot of water.  The operator swam back to the vessel and noted the life jacket and hat of the passenger were floating on the water but the passenger was no where to be found.  The operator stated the passenger put the life jacket around his neck but did not get it strapped around his body.  The passenger's body was recovered the next day.
