RedactedNarrative: On April 12, 2018, Subject took his three friends out in an 18'' Astro bass boat that owner  had purchased a couple months prior. They left out of Hickory Star Marina and fished around that area until approximately 1:00 then decided to go to Loyston Sea to fish some more. They followed the Clinch River channel until they were at Loyston Sea then they turned left (south) and hit an underwater rock ridge. 
  
  The motor was ripped off the transom and the vessel started taking on water very rapidly. As the vessel was sinking Subject ran to the front and put down the trolling motor and proceeded to troll to the nearest island. They made it to within about 100yds of the island and the vessel capsized. The four young men swam to the island and started yelling at a nearby fisherman for help. The fisherman put them in his vessel, and as they were pulling away from the island our TWRA vessel transferred them to the TWRA vessel and transported them to Hickory Star Marina where EMS transported two and two refused treatment. All were hypothermic, coughing water up and uncontrolled shivering.
