RJ Odendaal's 87.26 kg bag crowns a record day for Under 13 League 2 at Die Nyl

Fifty-three anglers gathered at Die Nyl in Mookgopong (Potgietersrus) on Friday, 17 April 2026, for the fifth round of the 2026 Limpopo Skole Hengel Liga: the Under 13 League 2. In the U/10 Penkoppe division (boys and girls combined), Floris du Toit of Julian Muller, team Muskietvisse, finished first with 19 fish for 35.205 kg and 14 points. Reghard de Beer of Eugene N. Marais, team Catch-o-holica, was second with 2 fish for 4.94 kg, also on 14 points. In the U/13 Young Ladies division, CJ Potgieter of Krugerpark, team Wipstertjies, won with 5 fish for 11.225 kg and 14 points. The U/13 Boys division produced the day's strongest performances. RJ Odendaal of Pietersburg Oos, team Osies Oranje, brought in 38 fish for 87.26 kg and 14 points. Christoff Smit of Julian Muller, team Muddies, was second with 28 fish for 53.78 kg, and Juan de Jager of Nylstroom, team Koedoes, third with 21 fish for 50.415 kg — all three on 14 points. Odendaal's 87.26 kg was also the heaviest bag of the day. The day's total: 679 fish with a combined weight of 1,320.47 kg. The event also set new season and all-time records for most fish and heaviest total weight; the previous bests were 468 fish and 838.23 kg, both at the Under 13 League 1. The weather posed a challenge: 6 mm of rain fell, temperatures ranged between 15.3 and 25.7 °C, and the wind reached 18.3 km/h with gusts up to 38.9 km/h — but that did not hold back the big numbers. Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you to all 53 anglers for a day to remember at Die Nyl. — Results at a glance — Limpopo Skole Liga Onder 13 Liga 2 | 2026-04-17 | Die Nyl, Mookgopong (Potgietersrus) Anglers: 53 | Total fish: 679 | Total weight: 1320.470 kg NEW SEASON RECORD — Most fish: 691 fish NEW ALL-TIME RECORD — Most fish: 691 fish NEW SEASON RECORD — Heaviest total weight: 1348.030 kg NEW ALL-TIME RECORD — Heaviest total weight: 1348.030 kg Day 1 — 17 April 2026 (53 anglers, 679 fish, 1320.470 kg) U/10 Penkoppe (Boys & Girls combined): 1.
