RedactedNarrative: On August 17, 2019 at 07:30 hours Vessel # 1 commences fishing on Lake Erie outside of Conneaut, Ohio in Ashtabula County with Occupants 1-4 onboard between 6-7 miles from Conneaut Harbor (Event # 1). Vessel # 1 is traveling NE with the waves at the stern and Vessel # 1 takes a wave over the stern at approximately 09:30 hours (Event # 2). 
  
  Occupant # 2 begins to bail water from the deck of Vessel # 1 and Operator # 1 turns Vessel #1 to starboard to position the bow of Vessel # 1 into the waves (Event # 3). Vessel # 1 loses power to the engine and Operator # 1 attempts to give lifejackets and call “Mayday” on the marine band radio, but Vessel # 1 takes another wave over the stern and capsizes to starboard throwing Occupants 1-4 into the water between 10-11 miles from Conneaut Harbor (Event # 4). 
  
  Occupants 1-3 lose sight of Occupant 4 who is floating with a lifejacket. The witness vessel sees what appears to be a person waving their arms summoning for help.  The witness arrives at the capsized craft, calls in position N°42’08.23”/W°080’32.39” to the United States Coast Guard and rescues Occupants 1-3 and attempts to rescue Occupant # 4 who is floating nearby by throwing a life ring at him. Occupant # 4 does not attempt to grab the life ring and slips away from his lifejacket and sinks in Lake Erie (Event # 5). The witness brings Occupants 1-3 back to Conneaut Harbor where Occupant # 2 and Occupant # 3 are transported to UH Conneaut Medical Center after complaining of chest pains.
