Yea I see now. The local TV station drove a crew up there and took video of the IDNR pulling up the boat. It looked like a big boat which surprised me. Now I'm really curious as to how the boat sunk? Could they have run over the top of a tree or stump and torn a hole in the boat or did they forget to put the plugs in and when the boat stopped it filled with water. Water can fill up a boat pretty fast if you don't put the plug in before launching. But if your boat's moving with the plug out the water will drain out the hole as long as your moving the boat. But if you stop the water starts to come back in the boat again. If you get too much water in the boat before you can get the motor started and moving again to drain the water out the hole your boat may sink. Maybe this is what happened. The cold water this time of the year is a death trap if you can't get to the shore and get warmed up.

Seemed to be a fun group out to enjoy a night on the lake.
