RedactedNarrative: The three occupants of Watercraft #1 were fishing. They decided to head back to Pepin where the truck and trailer were parked. They began to take on water over the bow. One passenger began to bail water out of the boat with a bucket but was unable to keep up. As the boat filled with water, the wind pushed them sideways into the swells and capsized the boat. 
  
  All three occupants went into the water. The two passengers were wearing life jackets at the time, but the operator had taken his off earlier in the day. The operator went underwater but one passenger was able to grab him and pull him back up as he held onto the boat. The operator went down a second time as the passenger held onto the operator's hood. The passenger was unable to keep the operator above the water, and estimated that the operator was under approximately 2 - 3 minutes before he could get him back up. The operator was unresponsive at this point. The passenger began to scream for help. He estimated that 30 minutes had elapsed before an angler in another boat pulled up and assisted them. Both passengers got into the angler's boat and they pulled the operator in. He was still unresponsive and one of the anglers started CPR. They got to the marina where they were met by first responders. The operator was taken to the emergency room, where he was pronounced deceased. The police and fire departments went out to locate the boat and towed it back to the marina. There was some damage to the boat. Alcohol was not a factor. The passengers were not injured.
  
  Still waiting to hear back from County Sheriff's office regarding the cause of death - 6/28/18.
  
  Winds were strong and the waters rough.
