Northern pike will not be the answer for overcrowded crappie. LMB will be much better and effective at eating lots of crappie compared to pike. Pike are toothy but prefer to eat slender bodied soft rayed fish, although they will also eat quite a few slender bodied LMB which defeats your purpose of having lots of predators for crappie. In your case, I suggest you consider NP only as a bonus fish.
