RedactedNarrative: The operator of Vessel 1 was engaged in fishing off the coast of Cedar Point near the Mosely Channel. Rough conditions caused the operator to get a fishing hook stuck in his left hand.  Heavy waves rocked the vessel causing the operator to fall near the stern, inside the vessel.  The Operator's position was causing the vessel to list heavily to one side which in turn allowed waves to begin swamping the vessel.  When the operator noticed the water coming into the vessel he decided to roll overboard.  After rolling overboard, the operator struggled for a short time while attempting to grab onto the gunwale of the vessel.  Eventually the operator managed to grab the gunwale and hang onto the vessel, which had the outboard motor in gear  and idling.  An Erie County patrol vessel was able to assist by getting the operator out of the water.  The operator was transported to Firelands Hospital by Sandusky Fire Department where he was released with minor injuries shortly after.
