RedactedNarrative: On July 25, 2015, at approximately 7:00 p.m., operator and his fishing partner launched their vessel at Beach Island Boat Ramp. They were fishing a Bass Tournament, and weigh-in was at 4:00 a.m. back at Beach Island Boat Ramp. At approximately 3:49 a.m. Operator navigated his vessel upstream towards Beach Island. Operator stated he was traveling 25-35 mph when he struck a log that was partially submerged underwater near the entrance to Lakeview Dock on the main channel. The log caused the outboard engine to flip up striking the back of the vessel causing extensive damage to the fiberglass on the rear deck and transom. The engine cowling was knocked off the engine and sank in the water. No injuries were reported in the accident. Heavy rains around Norris Reservoir the last two weeks has caused lake elevation to rise picking debris up on the shoreline. Numerous logs and debris had been observed floating in the main channel recently.
