RedactedNarrative: On July 12, 2014 Vessel 1 (V1) was operated by Operator 1 (O1) on Lake Oahe with one passenger (V1P1) on board. Neither O1 nor V1P1 was wearing a PFD. 
  
  Vessel 2 (V2) was operated by Operator 2 (O2) on Lake Oahe with no passengers on board. O2 was not wearing a PFD. 
  
  At approximately 3:30 PM, V1 was westbound at the mouth of the Emergency Spillway. O1 and V1P1 were pulling crank baits. V2 was also headed westbound in V1's direction. O1 and V1P1 assumed V2 was a WCO and shut off the motor of V1. As V2 approached closer, O1 and V1P1 realized that V2 was not slowing. 
  
  The bow of V2 was sticking up high enough to block the view of O2 from seeing V1. O1 and V1P1 reportedly stood on top of V1 and shouted and waved their arms, in an attempt to get O2's attention. The bow of V2 was blocking O1 and V1P1 from making a visual on O2. 
  
  At the last second, O1 and V1P1 jumped from V1, off the south side of the boat. V2 was reportedly traveling between 35 - 50 mph. V2 made initial contact at the rear starboard side of V1. O2 felt the impact and turned V2 to starboard (to the right), causing the majority of the damage to occur on the starboard side of V1. 
  
  O2 recovered O1 and V1P1 from the water. No injuries occurred. O2 claimed he never saw V1.
