Tim Fiedler claimed the 2025 Solo Championship by cementing his reputation in the fall as one of the best at pulling double raps. He stuck the big fish of the day at 7.01 lbs and won the Solo championship with a bag of 10.69 lbs. Tim’s rap pulling portigee, Tracy Adams, took off and locked to Bellevue, where the sauger bite had been on fire. He found an active seam that produced some really nice fish. That was the only 5-fish limit of the day, and Tracy earned second place at 9.7 lbs. Justin Willett took third place. He executed a different plan and locked north to a destination known only as Pool 11, returning with 3 fish and 7.91 lbs.
For the 3-fish photo side-pot: Brian Houselog got two 26+ fish that won. Sam Willett took second, and BJ Eiben won third.
