RedactedNarrative: On 2/26/17 Victim and Subject2 went fishing on Percy Priest lake out of the Hamilton Creek Recreation Area boat ramp.  Victim could not get the engine to start on his 1996 Hydrasport bassboat, he had been having issues with it cranking up and running during the previous weeks.  
  
  They decided to go ahead and put the trolling motor down and fish in the vicinity of the boat ramp.  They were finished fishing around 10:30 so Victim wanted to try to get the boat to start one more time.  The boat cranked up and they motored over to the boat ramp where he let Subject2 out of the boat.  
  
  He told Subject2 that he was going to run the boat for a few minutes to make sure everything was working fine in the engine.  Subject2 stated that Victim was running the boat at a high rate of speed and then all of a sudden the boat took a sharp left and Victim was ejected into the water.  Subject2 then lost sight of Victim.  Victim was located later that evening by TWRA in 35'' of water at approximately 20:00 hours.
