You are probably right - the native range of the Gar does not take it too far north - likely too cold for them is my guess.
Walleye and Pike can't control the population that has a growth rate more than twice that of a pike or walleye, spawns at record rates and that can grow to 10 lbs-12lbs in 3-4 years.
Some Asian carp reach 80-90lbs. I doubt any pike is going to eat that one.
Swarms of these things that fly out of the water are pretty damn big - I'd say 15-20lbers are common - at that point we will need bull sharks.
