RedactedNarrative: Operator was fishing a tournament on lake tuscaloosa. The operator was heading south when he impacted the bank at the foot of tierce patton bridge. The vessel then ramped upward and into the bridge contacting the base of the bridge. The vessel settled in final rest with the bow of the vessel in the water and the stern of the vessel on the east bank. The operator was found on the bow of his boat by a passing boater. The boater called 911 and i arrived with assistance from tuscaloosa police dept. And carrols creek fire department. I notified the medical examiners office and the victim was turned over to them at 8:45am. The vessel was then towed to bob''s marina and was loaded onto a bambarger wrecker at approximately 10:15 am. His personal belongings and property in the boat were turned over to family friend.  No further action was taken by me.
