RedactedNarrative: Victim and his brother were motor trolling for muskies on the east side of White Sand Lake just north of the public boat landing near Co Hwy K. Victim was operating the big motor (Evinrude 40hp) at the back of the boat (tiller) at approximately 2mph when the rod that was mounted in a rod holder on the port bow got a strike. The rod holder broke and the victim reached over the boat to grab the fishing rod from his position in the rear of the boat and fell overboard. Victims brother then went to the back of the boat but could not get the big motor started again (unknown how the big motor got shut off). Victims brother then used the transom mounted electric trolling motor to try and turn around and help his brother who was in the water without a life jacket. Victim yelled to his brother to turn the trolling motor to “5” but he was unable to get to his brother before he disappeared. Two throwable and four wearable life jackets were located in a front compartment in the bow of the boat.
