Coast Guard crews recovered the body of one of two fishermen who disappeared near the mouth of the Brazos River in Freeport Sunday morning, authorities said.
The man's body was recovered between 7 and 8 p.m. Sunday, said U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Third Class Patrick Kelley. His identity is pending an autopsy.
Two men were apparently swept out to sea while wade-fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. The Coast Guard dispatched a helicopter and 41-foot utility boat, both of which will resume searching for the second fisherman this morning.
