RedactedNarrative: On 4/1/2017 at approximately 1:25 pm, a boating incident occurred on lake tillery in the swift island cove.  Vessel 1 was a 1998 javelin 20 foot bassboat with a 200 evinrude outboard motor.  The vessel is owned by the operator.  Vessel 2 is a 19 foot tracker pontoon boat with a 60 mercury motor.  Vessel 2 struck vessel 1 on the left side of the vessel.
  
  Vessel 1 had just finished fishing in a bass tournament on lake tillery and was at anchor putting his fishing rods away in swift island cove on lake tillery.   Vessel 2 had just launched his vessel at the swift island access area and was headed toward the main channel of lake tillery.   
  
  As vessel 2 headed towards the main channel of the lake, the operator stated he put his vessel in neutral and was putting the top up on his pontoon in swift island cove.   At this point, vessel 2 drifted across the channel and struck vessel 1 on the port side.  Vessel operator 1 yelled at vessel operator 2 and was able to get his attention and vessel operator 2 was able to put his vessel in reverse to avoid any further damage.   In doing so, vessel operator 1 was bracing for the impact and put his hand out to attempt to stop vessel 2 from hitting his vessel, but the force was too much for him to hold off and the force knocked vessel operator 1 into the water. 
  
  No one was injured as a result of this incident.   It appeared as though vessel 2 was not in neutral when he was putting the top up on his pontoon and that attributed to vessel 2 striking vessel 1. 
  
  No one is being charged as a result of this incident.
