TOWNSHIP 27 — Maine game wardens are back on Big Lake looking for a 40-year-old man who was reported missing after falling from a boat in the eastern Maine lake.
The Maine Warden Service says Scott James of Princeton ended up in the water late Saturday afternoon while boating with a juvenile in a 16-foot boat. Officials say the teenager threw a lifejacket to James and jumped in the water to help him, but had to be pulled from the water himself by two nearby campers.
Officials initially said the pair were fishing, but later amended that to say they were boating.
The search began Saturday night and resumed Sunday morning, but was later suspended due to thunderstorms.
The search resumed just after 6 a.m. today.
