Fisherman dies in Lake Barkley boating accident

By Jacque Day

Eddyville, Ky. – Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife officials have yet to release the name of a man killed in a boat collision Friday morning. Sergeant Garry Clark confirmed the 41-year-old man was from Mississippi. Clark says the man died when a boat struck his craft just after 7 AM Friday. The two boats, each carrying two people, were competing in separate fishing tournaments. One was with the FLW Outdoors Bass Fishing League Regional Championship, and the other in the Renegade Bass Classic.
