RedactedNarrative: On January 7th 2021 I Wildlife Officer received a call of a boat that had washed ashore below the Chickamauga Dam off of 4501 N Access Road in Chattanooga (35.10418 -85.24495). Upon arrival I had located a smaller green Jon boat that had been bent in half with a motor still attached to it. I noticed that the vessel was still displaying it Georgia registration numbers and after running the numbers through TWRA dispatch we were able to get in touch the registered owner. 
  
  After speaking with the registered owner, he explained to me that he was fishing on 12/27/2020 close to the lock above the Chickamauga Dam. Just after dark he stated that as he was pulling up his anchor the current began to pull the vessel and it began to take on water. 
  
  At the point Subject 1 stated that he exited the vessel and that was the last time that he was able to see his vessel. TVA police responded the scene on the night of the incident and did a report. The TVA Police report will be attached to the case file of this report. Subject 1 suffered no Injuries from the incident. The incident occurred in Hamilton County.
