A boat that capsized in Lake Michigan two weeks ago — causing a fatal stress-induced heart attack for one of its occupants — overturned when a downrigger became tangled in a commercial fishing net, authorities said Friday.
This came as the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department said "system shortcomings and human error" were to blame for the botched emergency response in which a dispatcher misheard a 911 call, causing a 24-minute delay.

Evan Morris went ice fishing in Michigan during his Christmas vacation and came back with a whopper of a fish tale.
Morris, an 11-year-old Boy Scout from Lebanon, caught a 7.8-pound northern pike Dec. 28 measuring 33.5 inches on Houghton Lake, Michigan's largest inland lake covering more than 22,000 acres.
Locals said it's the largest pike caught on the lake by an individual not yet in his teens. Dave Parker, who works at Lyman's on the Lake, a bait and tackle shop that serves Houghton Lake, said it's the biggest he has seen in 30 years.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will decide soon where along Lake Michigan it wants to build the headquarters for its proposed marine sanctuary.
Manitowoc and Two Rivers are two of the finalists, along with Sheboygan and Port Washington. Ellen Brody, regional coordinator for the Great Lakes and Northeast Region for NOAA, said the decision about where to build the headquarters is going to be difficult.
"We've been welcomed with open arms in each of the four places we've been visiting," Brody said. "I really feel like we can't go wrong with any of the places."
