Lake LBJ, TX – Stop number three of the Faith Angler Network 2025/2026 season brought 95 teams to the waters of Lake LBJ for a day of thrilling competition, faith, and fun. Anglers faced a dynamic shift in weather—from warm 75° sunshine to a mild cold front with steady 10 mph winds and gusts up to 20 mph—but that didn’t slow down the action.
As the final cast echoed across the lake, everyone gathered at Marble Falls High School for the weigh-in, where big smiles, big fish, and big surprises defined the day.
