RedactedNarrative: Two people came to Hyco Lake to fish together.  They had made their way over to the Cobbs Creek area of Hyco Lake and were fishing along the bank.  Operator had set the hook on a fish and the men had a brief discussion.  Occupant turned back around to cast and he heard a weird grunt/noise.  He turned around in time to see Operator falling into the water.  Occupant tried to run to the front of the boat and reach out for him but the wind had blown the boat away from Operator.  He jumped in the water and tried to save Operator.  He was drug underwater and almost drowned himself.  He was able to swim to shore and ran to the nearest house and told them to call 911.  He then returned to the water where the Person/Caswell Lake Authority Officer was pulling up and told him to get into the boat so that they could get operator out of the water.  They got Operator out of the water and started CPR until EMS arrived and took him to Person Memorial Hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.  Occupant was also taken to the hospital where he was treated for chest pains and near drowning.  He was released later that evening.
