RedactedNarrative: Ohio vessel was leaving Harmons Channel at Grand Lake St. Mary's in Auglaize County, Ohio on April 30th, 2021 at 1250 hrs. While leaving the channel the vessels propeller struck the bottom of the lake causing the vessel to lose speed. This was due to the lake having 4' high waves coming off the main lake with about 20mph winds.  This caused the vessel to turn and in the process the operator could not gain the vessels speed back and the wave action came over the stern of the vessel causing it to swamp. Both the operator and passenger were not injured and rescued by St. Mary's Township Fire Department. 
  
  The vessel was towed out a short time later by Mayes Towing.  At that point both the Owner/operator and occupant discovered that both cell phones were damaged from the water and several fishing equipment was missing and the fishing electronics had been submerged under the water.
