RedactedNarrative: On september 24th at approximately 4:30 i, park ranger, was notified by polk county sheriff's office that a man had sunk his boat at big creek lake.
  
  I found the individual at approximately 4:45 at the east boat ramp of big creek lake. Subject was standing at the boat ramp and his boat was tied off to the dock. Subject's vessel was mostly submerged in the water. I asked subject what had happened. Subject stated he arrived at the park around 2:15 pm and launched his boat. He tied it off to the dock and then went to park his truck in the parking lot. Once in the parking lot he used the restroom. Subject said he then felt ill so he laid down in his vehicle for a while. At approximately 4:15 pm he walked back down to the dock and noticed his vessel was submerged in the water. At this time he contacted the sheriff's office.
  
  Once i arrived i had subject back his boat and trailer down to the water. We extended his winch out and hooked it to the boat. We then winched it back on to the trailer and subject pulled the vessel out of the water to let it drain. The plug was not in the boat.
