RedactedNarrative: On 10/28/2018 at approximately 6:30am I, Game Warden, received a call from the Pottawatomie County Sheriff''s Department dispatch and they informed me they had taken a 911 call informing them that an airboat had sank just north of the Black Vermillion marsh in Marshall County. The area around the Black Vermillion marsh (which is part of Tuttle Creek Resevoir) was very flooded due to Tuttle Creek Reservoir being approximately 29ft above the normal pool level. While in route and was informed by Marshall County dispatch that all the occupants on the vessel made it to shore safely and were back at their vehicle.
  
  I arrived on scene at approximately 7:45 am with Game Warden. I made contact with operator who stated that he was the owner of the vessel and was the operator at the time the vessel sank. Operator stated that he was operating his airboat with two persons on board. Operator stated it was dark and they were traveling East in the flood waters when he realized he had missed his turn. Operator stated he began making his turn to head the right direction and failed to see his wake that his boat had created. Operator stated the wake he turned his boat into then came over the front of the vessel bringing a large amount of water into the vessel. Operator stated he tried to give the boat gas to try and drive over the rest of the wake but it was too late and the boat had filled with too much water. Operator stated the boat then went straight down and he and the passenger swam to where they could touch and then walked out.
  
  
  None of the occupants of the vessel stated they had sustained any injuries. Operator stated 3 lifejackets were on the vessel but nobody was wearing them when the vessel sank.
  
  With binoculars I could observe what appeared to be the top half of an airboat cage and two seats sticking out of the water approximately 300 yards from the waters edge.
  
  Operator and the occupants went and got a second vessel and were able to motor out to the sunk airboat. I had one of the occupants take photos of the sunk vessel and they were able to retrieve their loose items that were floating on the surface.
  
  Operator stated he would try and make arrangements with the KDWPT Public Lands Manager to see what their options would be on removing the vessel. The vessel was left where it was due to there being no way at the time to remove it from the floodwaters.
  
  Nothing further.
