ON 5/23/23 I TEXAS GAME WARDEN RESPONDED TO THE REPORT OF A WATER RESCUE WITH TWO POEPLE INJURED, ONE WITH A POSSIBLE HEAD INJURTY. WHEN I ARRIVED ON LOCATION I OBSERVED A RED TRITON FISHING BOAT PARTIALLY  SUBMERGED AND TIED TO A PIER. THE BOW WAS FACING TOWARDS THE LAKE AND THE STERN FACING TOWARDS LAND. 

THE MOTOR WAS TRIMMED UP WITH THE PROP PARTIALLY OUT OF THE WATER. I OBSEREVED ONE BUDLIGHT BEER CAN FLOATING IN THE BOAT, AND THE KILL SWITCH IN THE RUN POSITION WITH NO LANYARD ATTACHED. THE TROLLING MOTER HAD MINOR DAMAGE TO POSSIBLY HITTING THE PIER AND POSSIBLY VESSEL 2. I THEN OBSERVED TWO MEN IN CHAIRS BEING CHECKED OUT BY EMS. ONCE EMS FINISHED THEIR EVALUATION OF BOTH MEN LISTED ON THIS REPORT, THEY SIGNED A PATIENT REFUSAL OF CARE DOCUMENT. AFTER EMS LEFT THE SCENE, THE OPERATOR INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE FISHING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE LAKE AND WHEN A STORM STARTED TO ROLL IN THEY HEADED BACK TO THE FM 830 BOAT RAMP. WHEN THEN WERE WITHIN 300-400 YARDS OF THE BOAT RAMP, THE OPERATOR STATED SOMETHING LIKE A WATER SPOUT HIT THEM. 

HE COULDN'T SEE INFORNT OF THE BOAT AND A GUST OF WIND PUSHED THEM SOUTH AND UP AGAINST A PIER AT THE ADDRESS STATED ABOVE. THE BOAT FILLED WITH WATER FROM LARGE WAVES AND PARTIALLY SUBMERGED THE BOAT. THE OWNER, HELD ON TO THE BOAT FROM THE PIER, SINCE THE PASSENGER WAS STILL IN THE BOAT AND WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE BOAT WITHOUT FALLILNG IN TO THE WATER AND BEING INJURED. THE OWNER OF THE BOAT STATED THAT HIS KNEES WERE RAW FROM KNEELING ON THE PIER AND HIS RIGHT SHOULDER FROM HANGING ONTO THE BOAT. THE PASSENGER STATED HE WAS UNIJURED AND I OBSERVED HIM WEARING A PFD WHICH WASNT TAKEN OFF TILL AFTER EMS LEFT. 

THE OWNER STATED, DURING THE STORM EVENT, VESSEL 1 MADE CONTACT WITH VESSEL 2 WHICH APPEARD TO CAUSE DENTS OR SCRATCHES TO THE FRONT OF THE HULL. THE OWNER ALSO STATED THAT THE WAVES WERE BIG ENOUGH THAT VESSEL 2 WAS WASHED UP ON THE PIER AND THEN ROLLED BACK INTO THE WATER WHICH CAUSED THE STARBOARD MIRROR TO BREAK. ALSO IT APPEARD THAT THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PIER IT'S SELF DO TO VESSEL 1 AND 2 REPEATEDLY BUMPING AGAINST IT FROM THE STORM. 

WHEN SPEAKING WITH THE OWNER OF VESSEL 1, I DID NOT OBSERVE ANY SIGNS OF INTOXICATION AND THE PASSENGER STATED THAT HE WAS THE ONE DRINKING THE BEER, AS HE HAD ONE IN HIS HAND. I ALSO INFORMED THE OWNER OF THE KILL SWITCH LAW AND GAVE HIM A WARNING. AFTER COLLECTING ALL INFORMATION AND TOW BOAT US HAD THE BOAT IN THEIR POSSESSION, I RETURNED TO SERVICE.

WATER SAFETY INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED. ALL ITEMS WERE ON BOARD MINUS THE TYPE IV PFD WHICH HE STATED WAS UNDER THE MIDDLE SEAT BUT WAS MISSING TO POSSIBLY FLOATING AWAY DURING THE INCIDENT. A TOTAL OF 4 LIFE JACKETS WERE OBSERVED INCLUDING THE ONE THE PASSENGER WAS WEARING.
