RedactedNarrative: Victim was found floating near V1 in Big Carlos pass. He has no memory of what happened to him and there are no witnesses that saw what happened to him. Victim sustained a concussion and a broken blood vessel in his eye. 
  
  On August 3, 2017 at approximately 11:46 A.M., I, Officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was on water patrol in Big Carlos Pass with Officer (FWC). As we headed towards the draw bridge from the mouth of the pass I noticed a blue PWC floating in the center of the pass with no occupants. I saw what appeared to be a person in the water in close proximity (Approximately 25 feet) to the unmanned PWC. There was a work boat from a nearby dredging operation approaching the object in the water. 
  
  As we got closer we were able to confirm that it was a person floating in the water. The person was later identified. From a distance (Approximately 100 yards) I saw the operator of the work boat, leaning over the side of his vessel attempting to pull Victim into his boat. At that time, I turned on my emergency lights and approached the work boat. I pulled my patrol vessel alongside the work boat and Officer boarded the work boat and assisted getting Victim into the boat. 
  
  We quickly assessed Victim and based on his disorientation, bleeding from his eye, and throwing up saltwater, we determined he needed to be transported to shore for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. I radioed into the Tampa Bay Regional Communication Center and requested that an ambulance meet us at Carl Johnson Boat Ramp. We transferred Victim from the work boat into our patrol boat. I asked subject to secure Victim' PWC nearby so it did not drift away with the strong outgoing tide. We left the scene and transported Victim to Carl Johnson Boat Ramp.
