RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 launched onto Lake Erie from Edgewater Launch Ramp at approximately 7:00 AM. They went offshore to a water depth of 50-52 feet, which was where they were told fish would be found. This put them from 0.25 to 1 mile north of the Water Intake crib. They then started drift fishing. At shortly after 9:00 AM the conditions had worsened to the point they decided to go in. Waves were reportedly 3-4 feet high. They brought in their fishing tackle and headed in, which was into the wind and waves. 
  
  They quickly took a wave over the bow. This wave filled the bottom six inches of the boat with water. The next wave filled the boat three-quarters full and turned the bow to the side. They two occupants grabbed personal flotation devices (PFDs). The next wave capsized the vessel and threw the two into the water. 
  
  They put on their PFDs. The passenger made it to the main engine and sat between it and the transom. The operator made his way to the trolling motor and held on. 
  
  They were reported missing that evening by family. Searches began by multiple agencies. The vessel was found the next day at 12:40 PM. The Operator was rescued by the Coast Guard and taken by helicopter to an ambulance on shore. The Operator reported the Passenger died that morning at 5:15 AM. The Passenger's PFD and clothes reportedly came off due to wave action except his underwear. He was able to hold onto him and partially tie him to the boat until 7:50 AM when a wave separated the passenger from the vessel. He slipped underwater at this time.
  
  The passengers body was located on the Canadian shore on September 24, 2017. Awaiting Coroner's report.
