RedactedNarrative: On April 26, 2021 I, Game warden 1, was on vessel patrol for the Bass Pro Shop fishing tournament that was taken place at Callville Marina, within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Clark County Nevada. I was assisted by my field Training Officer Game Warden 2. At approximately 0625 hours we were notified of a vessel that had been swamped just outside of the bay.  
  
  It was reported that both occupants had made it to shore safely, and the vessel was full of water but on shore. A more precise location was given of “fire bowl cove” which is south east of Callville Bay. Upon arrival I observed a black in color fishing boat, California vessel ID, facing north west being pushed by waves into a large rock outcropping that made up this section of shoreline. I observed two subjects on land, one holding a dock line to the vessel. The weather was rough with gusts of wind at 25 mph and waves of 2-3 feet tall. 
  
  Due to the weather the patrol vessel was shored around the east bend of the swamped vessel on the leeward side of the point. I was able to depart the vessel and walk the shoreline back to the stranded vessel. I made contact with both subjects who appeared to have personal floatation devices on their persons. Both subjects stated that there were no injuries. I instructed the vessel owner, later identified as Operator that the vessel would have to be left where it was due to the weather and we would transport him and his father, later identified as Passenger, back to the marina for safety. Both subjects complied and were placed on the patrol vessel and taken back to the marina without incident.
  
  Once back at the marina I had both parties complete witness statement forms and describe what had happened. Operator stated he was driving east headed towards the “Narrows” when his boat hit a large wave. The wave lifted Operator out of his seat which pulled the emergency cutoff switch from the boat and turned the motor off. A second wave came over the stern of the boat, before Operator could power up the engine, and swamped the boat. Both parties were able to grab paddles and paddled to the location where they were retrieved. I provided Operator information regarding all known towing companies. We cleared the incident shortly after. 
  
  On April 28, 2021, I obtained additional photographs of the vessel once it was removed from the water. The vessel appears to have major hull damage to the keel and chines of the boat. A vast majority of the gel coating had been rubbed off due to the rocks and exposed strands of fiberglass can be seen. The motor appeared to have slight rub marks from the rocks with apparent damage to the prop. All fishing equipment, gauges and trolling motor had been exposed to the water for approximately 24 hours before the vessel was retrieved. I have come up with a rough estimate of damage in the range of $15,000 without the motor being included. 
  
  Nothing further.
