I was fishing the Team Supreme yesterday, drew 5th boat position so i was pretty pumped knowing full well i’d be the first guy into the area i wanted to start in. I got held up big time on take off,nobody would let me through but i still got out like 12th..it was slow right away, we didnt have much, i missed one on a popper and my dad cleaned him up on a SB, maybe a 2 lb’r. i smoked a 22″ walleye, my dad got a 19 and a 32″ pike so we had had the whole multi species thing going for us. Ran to area #2 and i noticed it took longer to get up. The day before i was out tubing(yeah, pulling people in a bass boat 
) and had the back compartments fill up. I wrote it off as just some waves that had come over the back when i was beached. So we’re down by lynxville somewhere and i see water in the bottom of the boat. we decided i knew for sure we were screwed, had my dad get on the front deck to get the nose down on take off to try and get to lynxville before the thing sunk. we got docked and he went to find one of us a ride to lansing to grab the trailer to get it out. By the time we got a ride, the back 3 feet of my 17′ boat was under water. we got a sump pump from somebody and bailed it. eventually we got the darn thing out, tossed back the only keeper and zeroed forthe day, heard i got like 51st place so im pretty pumped about that 
Any ideas on what the problem could be? the bilge defintely has problems, im not ruling that out. I’ve checked for any hull damage, theres none. I’m thinking maybe livewell system? Say, water in my live well leaking out or maybe pumping water into the boat instead of the live well? We’re thinking about taking it down to Stark’s and have them look at it, good idea?
