Let's keep those little buggers on the east coast.

If we treat these nasties as the 'rats of fish', Alberta should be OK.

They're supposed to be tasty eating. They aren't any more vicious than a jackfish(northern pike), which have put nasty bites on swimmers and fishermen.

The paper warned of the looming danger to such species as the local whitefish.

Again, just like a jack. I was fishing up north and had a nice pickerel on the line. The water clarity was good enough to see it about 20 ft below, and the monster that came up from the depths. I watched as this jack took most of my 'catch' in one bite.

No argument there Shep. The Jack that I caught last week was big enough that I was able to put my whole hand inside him through his gills to free my lure. I could easily have put my fist/arm right up through his mouth. The only thing that stopped me from doing that was his choppers!
