RedactedNarrative: KSP Post 1 dispatched me to wildcat boat ramp at 0950. I arrived on scene at 0955. I asked if anybody had any medical needs. Operator2 stated that his ribs were hurting and he was going to the doctor later but he was okay for now. Operator1 and his passenger both said that they were fine and did not need any medical attention.
  	 Operator2 was trolling for crappie in Blood River Embayment on Ky Lake at approximately 9:36 the morning of April 11, 2018. Operator2 was fishing out of a 2014 18.9ft ranger LS Reata with a 150hp Mercury outboard. He had out four poles on the front deck and was utilizing a drift sock, with 60inch harness, attached to the transom of the vessel. Operator2 stated that he saw a boat coming towards him. Operator2 then stood up and waved a red life jacket. However, the oncoming vessel did not see him until it was too late. The vessel, traveling approximately 15 to 20 Mph, struck the starboard side of Operator2's vessel. The vessel that struck Operator2 was a 2009 18ft Triton bass boat powered by a 2009 115 hp Mercury Outboard. The triton bass boat was operated by Operator1 and had one passenger. Immediately after the incident both parties asked if everyone was okay, than they contacted State Police Post 1.
  	Pictures were taken of both vessels due to the substantial damage that occurred from the collision. Operator2's vessel was damaged on the starboard side. The upper fiberglass cap was cracked and had multiple stress fractures. The vessel's windshield and rubber railing were also damaged. Along with the structural damage Operator2 also lost 1 14' HT fishing pole with a Lews crappie reel and his 60" wind sock harness was broken. Operator1's vessel was also damaged on the starboard side. Operator1s Vessel had a substantial crack that extended approximately 3 feet along the hull of the vessel, just at the waterline. Both parties exchanged insurance information and had begun the process of filing claims.
