DURING A BASS TOURNAMENT AT STAFFORD POND, OFF. WAS INFORMED OF A POSSIBLE SINKING.   OFF. REPORTED THAT THE BOAT WAS GOING TO BE HAULED BY THE OWNER AND ANOTHER MALE.   owner STATED THAT HE AND OPERATOR HAD BEEN FISHING ALL DAY WHEN THE BOAT BEGAN TO SWAMP.  THEY BELIEVE THE LIVE-WELL PUMP CONNECTION MAY HAVE FAILED AND ALLOWED THE BILGE TO FILL W/WATER.  WHEN THE BOAT WAS HAULED ONTO THE TRAILER, OFF. INSPECTED THE HULL AND FOUND NOTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE A MASSivE LEAK.  BECAUSE OF THE CONFIGURATION OF THE BOAT, OFF. COULD NOT INSPECT THE BILGE AREA FOR A PROPER CAUSE.
