Three persons on board Vessel 1 were fishing, then decided to pull anchor and head back to shore.  The Operator started to pull anchor, but did not notice that the line had drifted under the vessel as he started the engine.  The anchor line wrapped around the prop, causing Vessel 1 to stall out, and the waves turned Vessel 1 sideways to the waves.  Vessel 1 then took a wave over the side, partially swamping Vessel 1, and a second wave completely swamped the vessel.  One of the Occupants was able to use a cell phone to contact USCG Station Ashtabula for assistance; the USCG responded and pulled all three persons aboard the USCG vessel.  All passengers aboard Vessel 1 were checked by emergency services and refused any treatment.
