Prayers lifted up for all involved

Prayers for the young man and all of his friends and family

WCTV said it was a "miscommunication," that caused the accident? Showed one of the boats on the evening news. Anyone got details that were there?

Did they find the boy on Talquin? Hope they found him alright

I wonder also. Can't get much details on what happen other than its around goat Island and Bell Lake? I'm heading down late tonight or early AM for the week.

I was there. I spoke with the man and the boy when we put in at LTL. I spoke with the man after the accident at the scene. I was confused seeing he was just sitting in the boat not fishing. The other boat wasn’t there either. I asked if he was alright and he replied he was involved in a collision. He said the other guy just hit him. He said he tried to avoid the other boat and he thought the other guy was trying to do the same. He said he was “waiting” for his nephew, which I assumed meant someone was coming to help him. I did not realize it was the same man I spoke with earlier. Soon, Florida authorizes we’re on the scene. It really is bothering me. I spoke with that cute little boy just a couple hours earlier.

I spoke with a friend down at Lake Talquin today. As of lunch time, they still have not found the 10 year old. The local TV stations website showed a pic of a Stratus with front end damage. It appeared to be a bass fishing boat just by looking at the "Butt" seat in the front, the type of trolling motor and no rod holders. I have heard 2-3 different stories of what "may" have happened but I am not sure just exactly what happened...Prayers sent up to all involved!!
