Over abundance of any predator without the forage to sustain them is bad for a body of water. Sustainable numbers to match available forage is need or you get what we have in many Alberta lakes
As for big pike a 40” is 20years old so an over x size limit is not helping but harvest to achieve balance according to available forage is needed.
But let’s stop there before we start beating a dead horse lol
