I was hoping Dr. Willis would comment. After reading his article about pike again, it got me thinking (which is usually not very productive). I know I'm playing with fire here with these pike but heck we will all learn something from this.
Dr. Willis wrote that pike target fish 33%-40% of their body length and will clean out a pond very quickley. My hope is to let them eat for two years and then remove by line and/or trap. My assumption and want is that they will not reproduce in a pond this small. Once removed, the BCP 8" or greater will once again be the top line predator with little competition for food.
How much can they possibly grow in 2 years with unlimited food?
