Bud I think you need to spend some serious time with a biologist, have you read anything that has been posted? Take a quick read of any scientific article on Northern pike or Fishes of Canada.
As for throwing them in the bush please try reading the article I linked earlier
they pose no threat to other fish and most often recover fully
Quote:
Northern pike in Northern Alberta also
take a few years longer to mature than those in warmer
climates; it takes about five years for males and seven for
females in the north, versus three years for males and four for
females in southern latitudes.
