RedactedNarrative: On August 10, 2018 at approximately 1429 hrs  Vessel 1 was cruising on Rend Lake, north of the Rend Lake Resort area, approximately 1/2 mile west of the Ina boat access area.  It was at this time that the boat, which all the occupants stated was traveling around 10-20 mph, struck a submerged stump.  One occupant stated the boat went into the air 3-4 ft. after hitting the stump and stuck there. A good Samaritan fisherman assisted them on getting off of the stump and they began to take on water.  The occupants baled water out of the vessel and were able to operate the boat to the Ina boat ramp.  At the ramp the boat was met by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Rend Lake patrol boat as well as two Conservation Police Officers to take the report.  
  
  The boat had major hull damage.  Photographs were taken of a large hull fracture in the fiber glass.  The crack/fracture was approximately 3 feet long and ran along the hull on the starboard side. The boat was on the trailer when officers arrived and this was the damage observed at the time of the report.  
  
  The boat operator stated he has not been on the lake for several years, and was unaware of the area being stump filled.  The operators knowledge of the lake is listed as a contributing factor. 
  
  Damage to the vessell is estimated to be well over $2,000. No injuries were reported.
