The 2025 Frank Schneider Memorial Muskie Tournament was held September 5, 6, and 7. Three hundred anglers participated, with 42 of them registering 55 muskies 35 inches or longer during the event. One northern over 38 inches was registered.

First place finisher was Ayden Froeschle, with four  muskies from Lake  Winnibigoshish. Ayden won the tournament in 2023 and 2022 also fishing Winnibisoshish. In addition to the plaque, Chaos Tackle rod, reel from Piscifun, and a Medussa from Chaos Tackle that every winner received, Alex also won a week-long trip to Red Wing Lodge on Lake of the Woods.

Junior Division winners were Brooks Lissick with a 45-incher from Little Boy, Holden Hendricks with a 43.5-inch muskie from Wabedo, and Nick Stokesbary with a 42-incher from Little Boy. They also each received a plaque, Chaos Tackle rod, Piscifun reel, and a Medussa from Chaos Tackle.

The three ladies with the longest fish won the Ladies bonus cash sponsored by Spruce Island Camp this year. Top 3 were Diane Hobot with a 48.5-inch muskie from Leech, Mackenzie Peed with a 45.5-incher from Wolf Lake, and Sophie Landreville with a 41.5-incher from Leech, her first muskie.

The Bob Kubista Senior bonus, given to the top seniors who elected to compete for the bonus, went to Mark Rosenwinkel with a 49.5 inch muskie from Wolf Lake, Tom Butler with a 43.5 incher from Leech Lake, and Bob Hiben with a 38.5-incher from Little Boy. Each received a plaque and bonus cash.

Matt McDonald with a 52-inch muskie and Ayden Froeschle with a 51-incher each received a $50-for-50 gift card from Thorne Bros. Matt will receive a replica of his fish, the longest in the tournament, courtesy of Lax Reproductions and the Twin Cities chapter of Muskies, Inc.

Aaron Borg registered a 41.5-inch northern from Lake Plantagenet to win that division.

Every angler who registered a muskie was entered into the Grand Prize drawing. The Grand Prize was divided into three equal amounts, tripling the chances of winning. Grand Prize winners of $2,840 each were Matthew Patch, Stuart Sorenson, and Wes Oakland.
