Abstract: Let $qgeq5$ be a prime power. In this note, we prove that if a plane curve $mathcalX$ of degree $q-1$ defined over $mathbb{F}_q$ without $mathbb{F}_q$-linear components attains the Sziklai upper bound $(d-1)q+1=(q-1{)}^2$ for the number of its $mathbb{F}_q$-rational points, then $mathcalX$ is projectively equivalent over $mathbb{F}_q$ to the curve $$ for some $$ such that $$. This completes the classification of curves that are extremal with respect to the Sziklai bound. Also, since the Sziklai bound is equal to the St"ohr-Voloch's bound for plane curves of degree $q-1$, our main result classifies the $mathbb{F}_q$-Frobenius classical extremal plane curves of degree $q-1$.
