Vessel 1 capsized and the oeprator was ejected into the river. approximately 20 minutes later operator of vessel 1 was found floating facedown in the water while wearing a PFD. He was moved to shore where CPR was attempted and he was declared deceased. It was noted that vessel 1 had too much gear onboard which caused it to sit lower in the water and make it harder to maneuver.
