Frank Schneider Jr passed away Monday August 8.
Story in today’s St Paul Pioneer Press (August 10).
He proved that you can stand up for the resource without being an environmentalist whacko; the paper came close with the term “passionate conservationist”. Knowing Frank as I did, I think “compassionate conservationist” would have been even more accurate.
God Bless Frank Schneider Jr. and the family and friends whom he has now left behind.
Musky fishing has lost a true pioneer. Frank Schneider was a dedicated sportsman, sacrificing time and energy for over thirty years just because he loved the sport. He is owed great thanks for creating the the quality Musky fishery we enjoy in this state. He will definitly be missed.
I hadn’t heard of him until his passing, but from what I learned from an MPR story he was the man behind “catch & release”. There was much more, but that is enough for me to agree – -he was one of the GOOD GUYS– We need many more dedicated people like him.
