LEWISTON
A commercial vessel on Wednesday morning found the body of the 38-year-old fisherman missing since Thursday on Lake Okeechobee.
The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission confirmed in a noon email that Nik Kayler’s body was found by “in the vicinity of the Clewiston water tower on the lake.”
Kayler, an Army veteran, husband and father from the Central Florida city of Apopka, was flung overboard Thursday into Lake Okeechobee as he and another angler participated in the first day of the Fishing League Worldwide’s 3-day Costa Series tournament.
At the Roland Martin Marina & Resort in Clewiston, where many of the searchers were staging to go onto the lake, friends and family members of Kayler gathered Wednesday morning, speaking quietly among themselves.
