RedactedNarrative: On November 11, 2017 at approximately 8:15AM Operator and two friends were fishing from a 22 foot Skeeter Bay Boat in the SW Pass of the Mississippi River. They were using the trolling motor and fishing the dikes on the east side of the pass. While they were fishing, the cargo ship A.S. Patria was coming up river headed to the Head of Passes. The container ship passed Operators Skeeter and made a large wake. 
  
  The wake from the ship built up in the shallow water and crested near the stern of the skeeter bay boat. Operator could see the wake coming and tried to start his vessel and move it. He was too late. The wake picked the stern of the boat up and forced the bow to go under water. The boat then flipped over the front capsizing the vessel. All three people on the vessel were ejected from the vessel and thrown into the water. None of the passengers were wearing life jackets. All three passengers climbed up onto the hull of the capsized vessel and waited for the USCG to rescue them.  The incident was reported to the USCG by the cargo ship A.S. Patria. Alcohol and drugs were not a contributing cause in this boat incident. The vessel was salvaged later that day by Sea Tow.
