RedactedNarrative: On Sunday May 11, 2014 at 20:04 I, TWRA Wildlife Officer received a phone call at approximately 20:04 stating that her son Victim and boyfriend Operator were fishing and had gone up toward Enka Dam and the boat had capsized. Officers responded. 
  
  Subjects were located on the Nolichucky River near Mile Marker 3 on Highway 160. We found Operator and Victim, standing up and claiming they were uninjured at 21:38. Victim was still wearing his PFD and had a contusion and swelling on his left upper extremity distal to the elbow. Injured area was approximately 1.5" x 3.5", he could flex, extend and rotate his lower arm with minimal pain, and area was tender to touch. He refused medical care; Operator had medical POA documentation for Victim with him and refused medical treatment for Victim and himself. Both victims were alert and oriented to self, place, time and event and showed no signs of other injury or medical problems. 
  
  I investigated the boat for damage, on the corner of the stern and starboard side of the gunwale was a corner plate that was cracked and broken loose from the welding. The engine cover had multiple deep scratches on the starboard side and back of the cover. I asked Operator to tell me what happened. 
  
  He said that he and Victim were anchored right below the Enka Dam (low head dam) and were fishing for catfish. Operator said Victim caught one and it was a big one and really fighting. He told Victim to hand him the rod and for Victim to pull up the anchor, which was attached to the bow ring, so they could try to pull the fish down river. When Victim started pulling the anchor, as he pulled the slack out of the anchor line, the bow of the boat moved toward the spillover of the dam. When he saw what was happening he started the motor to try to pull them back out, but the boat just kept going into the spill over and when the water hit the bow of the boat the whole boat began to go under horizontally and taking on water over the gunwales. 
  
  When the boat was under water a few feet it then flipped over and trapped both of them under the boat, underwater. Operator said his feet were tangled up in the battery cables and he was trying to get untangled and finally managed to get away from the battery and get the boat off of him and Victim. Operator said they were both wearing lifejackets while fishing and during the accident. Operator said there were people on the bank fishing and some jumped in and helped them grab a few of the things that had come out of the boat, but most everything was gone. 
  
  Operator said he lost his cell phone and most of his tackle and boat equipment. Victim said he lost fishing equipment, his cell phone was in his pocket but doesn''t work. Operator said he borrowed a phone from a bank fisherman and called victim’s mom to tell her what had happened and that they were ok and he also called his daughter to come and get them. He said they were able to turn the boat back over but the motor wouldn''t crank, so they floated/walked it down river to the private ramp we found them at. While we were there he tried to crank the motor and it started. I took pictures of the boat damage and the vessel interior. I obtained information from both victims/occupants of vessel. Operator''s daughter returned with the truck and trailer and they loaded the boat onto the trailer.
