RedactedNarrative: On Saturday 05/08/2021, Vessel 1 was anchored in the MRGO near the spoil canal. Weather conditions were noted by the operator of Vessel 1 as being windy with approximately 12 to 18 mph coming from the North. The operator(Operator also noted that the sky was clear and visibility was good. Vessel 1 left Hopedale Marina at approximately 7am with 4 persons on board to include the operator. Vessel 1 exited the spoil canal and headed East in the MRGO a distance of approximately 150 yards before stopping to fish the Southern bank of the MRGO. The vessel was anchored with the bow facing North approximately 25 yards from the Southern rock bank in the vicinity of N29.42.279  W89.25.787. 
  
  After anchoring from the bow the occupants of Vessel 1 also set an anchor from the stern of the vessel in order to steady Vessel 1 while rod and reel fishing. The operator placed the throttle in neutral and the ignition key in the off position after anchoring. Two occupants were standing near the bow of the vessel and the other two were standing on either side of the console. The operator, standing near the console, witnessed a wave over take the stern of Vessel 1. Waves that were approaching the stern of Vessel 1 were from wind and vessel traffic in the MRGO that were bouncing off of the shoreline. Within approximately three minutes of the first wave coming over the stern, the majority of Vessel 1 was  subsurface, excluding the bow, center console, gunwales and upper portion of the motor. The operator had a bilge pump on and noted it was properly working during the incident. The bilge pump was not able to remove water from the hull of the Vessel 1 as quickly as water was entering the vessel. All occupants exited Vessel 1 into the water and were loaded into other nearby fishing vessels(good Samaritan). The good 
  
  Samaritan attached a line from his vessels stern to the bow of the vessel 1 and pulled it closer to the Southern shore line. Vessel 1 began to capsize at that point. All occupants were brought back to Hopedale Marina via the good Samaritan vessel. Occupants on Vessel 1 donned PFD's when the incident first took place. The outboard motor was off and in neutral during the incident.
