RedactedNarrative: On April 10, 2022 at approximately 1:00 A.M. operator was operating vessel 1 (TX 4465 DH), a 17' aluminum Alweld powered by a 40 HP tiller outboard, and maneuvering through the canals in Crain Brother's Ranch Marsh  (Cameron Parish).  
  
  V1 was being occupied by its operator and two passengers.  V1 was making its way back to Deep Bayou when Operator1 was maneuvering around a curve and the starboard bow side of V1 became grounded causing the bow to go up and the port stern side to go down and began flooding.  
  
  The passengers moved to the starboard side to stabilize V1.  Then the starboard stern side began flooding.  The stern started taking on water causing V1 to capsize from the starboard side.  As V1 began to capsize, the operator and passengers then entered the water.  
  
  The kill switch was used to turn off the motor.  The bow portion of the vessel remained above the surface of the water.  The operator and passengers of V1 were able to make it to land safely to contact Cameron Parish Sheriff's Office and be transported back to the boat launch by a Cameron Parish Sheriff's Deputy.  LDWF Agents were notified on April 10, 2022 at approximately 6:30 A.M. of the incident.  PFD's were not worn.  Kill switch was worn and used.  It is unknown if any alcohol or drugs were involved in the incident due to the length of time that passed from the incident occurring to when it was reported to LDWF.  No injuries reported.  The type of incident is grounding, flooding and capsizing.  The main contributing factor is operator inattention.
