MACON, Ga.  - Authorities in middle Georgia have found the body of a second missing fisherman at Lake Tobesofkee after three days of searching.

The Bibb County Sheriff's Office says 52-year-old Willie Buckles was found Tuesday afternoon a few hundred yards from where the body of his uncle, 62-year-old Frank Roquemore, was found Sunday.

The two men went fishing at the lake late Saturday evening.

Rick Lavender, a spokesman for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, says Buckles' body was in about 30 feet of water.

Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones says an autopsy on Buckles' body is scheduled today.

Apparently, Hunting and Fishing in Georgia is more dangerous than NASCAR lately. Another sad story.
