RedactedNarrative: On 4/23/20 at approximately 1530 hours a single vessel boating accident occurred in Tampa Bay. Two subjects onboard a 24' vessel caught an anchor line in their propeller causing the transom to face into the waves during rough conditions. This resulted in swamping that then caused the vessel to overturn. The two subjects were uninjured.
  
  The accident occurred at approximately 1530 hours when two subjects were fishing aboard a vessel while anchored.  The subjects decided to pull the anchor to leave and discovered that the anchor was stuck on the bottom.  
  
  Operator then started the engine and drove the boat forward towards the stuck anchor while Occupant attempted to pull the line in.  As this was happening the anchor line became wrapped tightly around the propeller, stopping the engine, and causing the vessel to turn its transom into the waves.  Due to the rough sea conditions the vessel quickly swamped and then overturned. 
  
  United States Coast Guard (USCG) responded to the scene of the overturned vessel and picked up Operator and Occupant, who were uninjured in the accident. Officer and I met Operator and Occupant at the USCG base where they provided written statements of the accident and arranged to have Seatow recover their vessel.
  
  Their vessel was recovered a short time later and towed to Demens Landing boat ramp.
