Michael Wayne Conaway, 58, died shortly after authorities arrived on scene north of the FM 1097 bridge near the Scott’s Ridge Boat Ramp. He was fishing on Lake Conroe in the Texas Bass Nation Southeast Region tournament on Saturday.

According to witnesses and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department, two boats were headed toward each other and traveling at about 45 mph. The boats maneuvered to avoid each other and appeared to make the same move at the same time before colliding.
