RedactedNarrative: On December 19th, 2020 CPO''s were conducting fish enforcement on Clinton lake. At approximately 4:00PM we received a call from Dewitt county dispatch about two vessels in distress on Clinton lake. The initial call reported 1 vessel capsized and at least 1 person in the water. 
  
  CPO1 headed to the Clinton lake marina as CPO 2 and I went to get a John boat from the Clinton lake office. After getting the john boat we headed to the marina. After we launched the john boat, we headed toward the location the two vessels were thought to have been. On the way to the vessels we were met by CPO1 aboard a recreational fishing vessel. 
  
  CPO1 advised us that the male occupant that was ejected from his vessel was picked up by another recreational vessel and taken to the marina to be treated by EMS. CPO1 also advised us that he had the two occupants of the vessel that had run aground with him, and there was no one else at the scene. The john boat that we were using started to have engine issues, so we returned to the marina. We returned to the office to get a different vessel. Once we returned to the marina we met with the operators of both vessels. 
  
  At approximately 5:30PM I met with the operator of the sailboat that was ejected into the water. I asked him to tell me what happened. Operator stated at approximately 3:30PM he was sailing east across the lake towards the marina when he noticed a sailboat that had run aground. He stated he tried to use his vessel to pull the sailboat off the sand bar. To pull the other vessel he used the anchor from the stuck vessel as a tow rope.
  
  Approximately 30 minutes after he started trying to pull the sailboat Operator tried to throw the anchor off the vessel to return to the marina. The anchor got caught on his main sheet and the vessel capsized ejecting operator into the water. Operator then swam toward the vessel that had ran aground and was picked up by a fishing vessel. Subject took Operator to the marina where he was treated for hypothermia by EMS. Operator was released at the scene.
