Washington Anglers Conflicted over Northern Pike.
Northern pike are fast-breeding ambush predators capable of decimating native species like bass, trout, and salmon. On the other hand, the fish is highly prized by anglers for their fighting ability and high-flying acrobatics.

My advice for the anglers who want to keep them there is to get them refugee status or call them illegal immigrant fish. That way they can stay, get free food plopped right in front of their mouths to grow nice and fat, get new free weed houses/ambush points, and a free phone to contact their buddies.
