RedactedNarrative: On May 22, 2021 at Approximately 12:20 I received a call from Unit 7051 stating that the Army Corp of Engineers had contacted Unit 7064 about a boat that had taken on water and sunk on the north end of Lake Barkley. Shortly after receiving the call I contacted the Army Corp of Engineers to find where the boat  and accident had occurred. They stated that all occupants where safe and that the boat was being towed back to the Double Creek Boat Ramp at the North end of Barkley lake next to Barkley Dam.  Upon arriving  at the boat ramp the boat that had sunk was already pulled from the water and was trailered.  
  
  The operator of the boat stated that him and his father, Passenger, had been catfishing on the lake about 1 hour when the accident occurred.  Operator stated that they had been fishing next to a chunk rock bank most of the morning and the decided to move spots. Operator stated that the water was to rough where they had moved to due to the boat traffic and they decided to moved back to where they had started next to the chunk rock. Operator stated that on the way back to the first spot they heard a noise that sounded like a crack coming from the transom area of the boat. He then noticed the boat begin to take on some water. Operator stated that he thought the waves from the boat traffic caused the boat and lower unit of the motor to bump into large rocks that were in the shallow water at the first spot they fished, causing the transom to crack and cave in. After the boat started taking on water, Operator nosed the front of the boat on the rock bank and the boat settled on the chunk rocks, but was not fully under the water. Operator then contacted his cousin who was on boat on Kentucky Lake to see if he would tow him back to the boat ramp. The boat did not fully go under the water until being towed. once the boat went under they tied it to a stump and  headed back to the ramp. two officers with the Army Corp of engineers happened to be close by on their boat and tied to the boat and pulled it the rest of the way to the boat ramp.  While being towed and going under the boat being towed rolled causing the engine cowling to hit some rocks and bust a hole in it. Operator and Passenger were able to get the boat flipped back over when arriving at the boat ramp and was able to partially load the boat on the trailer to get it out of the lake and drain the water. And later loading the boat fully on the trailer. 
  
   No Injuries occurred during the accident
