RedactedNarrative: On February 25th, at approximately, 1130 hours, I, Game Warden responded by patrol vehicle, to a boating incident that occurred in Forsyth County, GA on Lake Lanier, near West Bank Park.  The incident occurred at approximately 1125 hours, and involved a 14 foot Raddisson wide transom aluminum canoe, that capsized.  The approximate location on the water where the incident occurred was one-hundred yards north, of the northern bank of West Bank Park.  
  
  On scene, I proceeded to interview the occupants of the canoe, witnesses, and various Forsyth County Public Safety Staff.  I determined that the canoe, powered by a thirty foot/pound thrust trolling motor, capsized due to improper shifting of weight by the two passengers on board.  A 54 year old white male subject, and a 14 year old white male juvenile subject, were on board when the incident occurred.  They both stated that they had been engaged in fishing activity, when too much weight in the canoe abruptly shifted to the port-side, which caused it roll, and capsize.  
  
  Subject1 was seated in the back, and Subject2 was seated in the front.  Each subject stated that they swam to shore under their own power, after being ejected from the canoe.  Additionally, Subject1 stated that he had just purchased the canoe recently, and that this was the first occasion on the water.  
  
  Subject1 was treated by Forsyth County EMS on scene for a cut to his left forearm, and Subject2 was transported to the Northside-Cumming Hospital with mild hypothermia symptoms.  Subject2 is expected to fully recover.
