RedactedNarrative: Vessel – 1996, 17’ Starcraft Open Motorboat w/110 hp Outboard Johnson Engine 
   
  On 06/07/2017, at about 12:56 p.m., this vessel, operated by Subject, was fishing in Puget Sound under the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, located near Tacoma, WA Pierce County.
   
  According to Subject, he was fishing at this location with his anchor set.  He tried to pull his anchor up but it was stuck.  Subject then tried to drive his boat forward to release the anchor, but drove over his anchor line.  The anchor line got stuck on the propeller, spinning his boat around in the current with the stern facing into the current.  This caused the boat to start taking water over the stern and capsizing the boat.
   
  Subject, who was wearing a PFD, swam to shore.  His boat was recovered still floating upside down in Puget Sound.
