  On October 2, 2018 at approximately 1445 hrs., Operator 1 and a friend were fishing on Lake Sampson as a storm approached.  As Operator 1 and his friend were attempting to head back to the boat ramp the heavy rain coupled with choppy waves and lack of visiblity made it difficult.  Operator 1 was having trouble seeing and was unable to get the vessel on plane due to water and weight of the motor which caused the vessel to plow. The boat sitting extremely low in the aft allowed water to come over the stern sinking the boat.  They grabbed life jackets a paddle and Operator 1's prosthetic left leg and managed to get to shore where they called 911.  Bradford County Sheriffs Department responded and advised Operator 1 to notify Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.  He made contact with dispatch on October 3, 2018 at approximately 1530 hrs.
