On 06-26-2023 at approximately 2:30 pm, I, Game Warden received a call regarding a sinking boat on Lake LBJ, in Burnet County. I responded to the location and saw a 20-foot ski boat completely full of water. The operator, told me that he, three other adults and four children were in his vessel on the Colorado River arm of Lake LBJ. This part of the lake is narrow and is usually very congested and rough, mostly due to boat wake. He said they stopped their vessel in order to pull in a tube that they were pulling. While they were stopped waves were splashing into their boat, due to the congested water way. He said a large wake board style boat came by them and a large wave suddenly came over the bow of their vessel and his boat immediately was full of water. The four children already had life jackets on. The remaining four adults quickly put life jackets on. They all began treading water, until a boat picked all eight of them up.
