Crews searched seven hours before recovering a fisherman’s body from Bullock Pen Lake Sunday evening after the man fell out of a moving boat without a life jacket on. Boone County Water Rescue's side-scan sonar discovered the body in 15 to 20 feet of water shortly before sunset, according to Officer Christian Cornette of Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. The two-person boat was in motion when the 64-year-old victim tripped on something and fell backward, according to Cornette. There was no indication that alcohol was involved, he said. Toxicology tests will be done later.
