# Fifteen-year-old Owen Lineker from Plettenberg Bay has smashed both the South African and the All-Africa junior record at the Junior Bottom Fish Nationals. He caught a 5.9-kilogram red stumpnose on a reef off the Gqeberha coast, surpassing the previous record of 4.9-kilograms. Found around rocky reefs, red stumpnose are prized by anglers for their fighting spirit and rarity as a top recreational catch. Owen says he now has his sights on representing South Africa on the international stage.
