RedactedNarrative: ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2021, AROUND 1330 HOURS, I INDIANA CONSERVATION OFFICER WAS CONTACTED BY ICO CPL., ABOUT AN INCIDENT THAT HAD OCCURRED ON THE OHIO RIVER. CPL. ASKED IF I COULD GO TO WORK EARLY AND RESPOND TO A BOAT THAT HAD CAPSIZED ON THE OHIO RIVER NEAR THE NEWBURGH DAM. I WAS UNABLE TO RESPOND AT THE TIME BUT WAS ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH HENDERSON KENTUCKY DISPATCH AND GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT HAD OCCURRED. 
  . 	I FIRST MADE SURE THAT ALL SUBJECTS WERE OUT OF THE WATER AND SAFE AND VERIFIED THIS WITH HENDERSON DISPATCH. I THEN MADE SEVERAL OTHER CALLS WITH KENTUCKY STATE POLICE AND OUR CENTRAL DISPATCH CENTER. I MADE SURE THAT ALL INFORMATION WAS RELAYED TO OUR DISPATCH FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. 
  ON 9/12/21 I MADE CONTACT WITH Operator. He STATED HE WAS OUT FISHING ON THE OHIO RIVER WITH HIS SON ON HIS BOAT JUST DOWNSTREAM OF THE NEWBURGH DAM. HE STATED THE WEATHER WAS GREAT BUT THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN, A STRONG GUST OF WIND CAME THROUGH AND CREATED BIG WAVES ON THE RIVER. IT WAS THEN THAT he DECIDED TO TRY AND LEAVE.
   
  	AS Operator STARTED TO HEAD BACK TOWARDS THE RAMP, OTHER BOATS WENT BY CREATING EVEN BIGGER WAVES. Operator STATED THAT HIS BOAT CAUGHT A BIG WAVE, "ABOUT A 4 FOOT WAVE", AND AS HIS BOW CAME DOWN IT WENT UNDER THE WATER CAUSING WATER TO GO INTO HIS BOAT. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FIRST WAVE A SECOND WAVE HIT HIS BOAT. Subject STATED THE SECOND WAVE WAS EVEN BIGGER, "ABOUT A 6 FOOT WAVE". WHEN THE SECOND WAVE HIT HIS BOAT, THE STERN OF HIS BOAT, AS IT CAME DOWN TOOK ON EVEN MORE WATER. 
  	Operator STATED HE HEADED STRAIGHT IN FOR THE SHORE AND AS HE REACHED THE EDGE OF THE SHORE THE BOW CAME UP OUT OF THE WATER AND HIS STERN TOOK ON MORE WATER CAUSING THE BOAT TO SINK AND ROLL OVER. BOTH he AND HIS SON WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY OUT OF THE WATER AND ONTO SHORE. He WAS ABLE TIE THE BOAT OFF TO A TREE FROM THE SHORE SO THAT IT WOULD NOT FLOAT AWAY. 
  	Operator STATED ONCE THE WEATHER CALMED DOWN, HE WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO THE BOAT AND WITH THE ROPE THAT WAS TIED TO IT, PULLED IT TO ANGEL MOUNDS BOAT RAMP WHERE A TOW TRUCK WAS ABLE TO TURN THE BOAT RIGHT-SIDE UP AND HAUL IT OUT OF THE WATER.
