RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated that he was shore fishing near the Fort Snelling Channel. He was standing on the left bank and had his boat anchored near where he was standing. He said there was a large white boat (Watercraft #2) exiting the slow no wake area approximately 75 yards from shore. WC #2 got up on plane and created a large wake that pushed water inside of his boat. He stated that there was approximately 500 gallons of water inside his boat. He said the waves pushed the boat into some rocks and broke a portion of his lower unit off. He then got in his boat and followed WC #2. He got WC #2 to stop and made contact with the operator. He stated Operator #2 said it was an accident and he did not see Operator #1. Operator #1 asked to trade information and Operator #2 asked if he had insurance. Operator #1 stated no and Operator #2 said "that sucks" and drove off.
  
  The deputy made contact with a yacht club employee who was able to give the deputy the name of the owner of WC #2. Deputy made contact with Operator #2 who stated he was taking a boat ride up to the dam and back. He said that he did notice some boats fishing near the shore on his way back but figured he was in the center of the channel and was not bothering them. He then noticed a fisherman (Operator #1) following them. He waved to the fisherman and the fisherman gave him the finger in return. Operator #2 stated it appeared the fisherman was taking photos. Operator #2 stopped and asked the fisherman if there was an issue. Operator #2 stated the fisherman said Operator #2 had swamped his boat and created damage. Operator #2 apologized and said that he did not see him. The fisherman then stated he did not have insurance and that he had contacted Water Patrol. The fisherman then sped off.
