TRANSFORM THE GEAR YOU LOVE
Lake Travis, TX – The final points qualifier of the Faith Angler Network 2025/2026 season brought an incredible day of competition, faith, and fellowship at the beautiful Travis County Pace Bend Park on Lake Travis. From early morning takeoff to a strong finish at weigh-in, anglers battled it out on the water, pushing hard for every bite and every ounce in pursuit of a season-ending victory and a spot in the championship.
During the event, One Chapel Lake Travis Pastor Darren Shaw delivered a powerful and timely message, challenging everyone to live out their faith with “Aggressive Kindness.” In a competitive environment, he reminded us that as Christians, we are called to lead boldly—showing kindness on purpose, standing out in how we treat others, and reflecting Christ in every interaction both on and off the water.
As the final fish crossed the scales, the atmosphere at Tournament Point was electric filled with excitement, celebration, and gratitude. It was a reminder that FAN is more than fishing—it’s about growing as anglers, building character, and competing with integrity, faith, and purpose.
