A fisherman died Monday after a rogue wave capsized his skiff Monday off Beals.
Two fishermen departed the Beals Island marina in a 17-foot skiff about 10 a.m. Monday for the area around Crumple Island, according to ABC affiliate WMTW.
They were reported overdue when they failed to return by 3 p.m.
The U.S. Coast Guard spotted them in the water about 5:30 p.m. The surviving fisherman said that a wave capsized their boat. The second fisherman was unresponsive and pronounced dead, the TV station reported.
