RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated in effect: Subject1 and I met at the Hackensack Marina and loaded the boat up for fishing for the day. We departed the marina at approximately 9:30 am and traveled down the Kill Van Kull into the Raritan Bay, I was operating the vessel from the bridge the entire day. 
  
  Once we were in the bay, Subject1 began to set trolling rods up and fished for a couple of hours, approximately 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm. At some point while fishing In the cockpit, I recall Subject1 received a phone call from his mother. 
  
  I recalled that his mother must have noticed that Subject1 was impaired because the conversation went to the subject of whether Subject1 would be okay to drive home. I overheard Subject1 tell his mother that he was not driving home because we would be getting a ride home from my wife who was going to pick us up when we arrived and docked the boat at the Leonardo State Marina. 
  
  We stopped fishing some time after 2:00 pm and were looking to be tied up In Leonardo State Marina by 3:00 pm. I helped Subject1 clear the lines, and store all the fishing gear before climbing up into the bridge for the ride back to the marina.
  
  While making way at first, I estimated my speed to be about 10 - 12 knots and then picked up my speed to about 20 - 22 knots, victim was still in the cockpit storing and cleaning fishing gear. While heading into Leonardo State Marina, I recall making a hard turn to Starboard to go through another vessel's wake as abrupt or jolting. 
  
  I recalled the turn was in the area of Earle Naval Pier by the Security Buoy Zone, At some point while operating the vessel I recalled that I had not seen or heard anything from Subject1. I yelled out for Subject1 from the bridge and did not get a response back. I then stopped the boat and yelled out, Subject1, Subject1, Subject1 and after getting no reply, I left the helm to go look for him. I searched the cabin area, head, and engine room and forward deck. I was in disbelief that I could not find Subject1. After searching the vessel I retraced my GPS track lines frying to locate Subject1 myself. After searching for a short time I used my VHF radio and mad a "Man Overboard" distress call to the United States Coast Guard and all vessels in the area. 
  
  Investigation at the scene revealed: Vessel #1 was underway traveling Southeast within the Raritan Bay near the Security Zone of Earle Naval Pier. While on plane, Operator #1 turned hard to the starboard to avoid another vessel's wake causing the vessel to list, ultimately ejecting Subject1. Due to water temperature, onset of hypothermia, the heavy layers of clothing, Gruden fishing Bibs, and deck boots Subject1 drowned.
