The European pike and the pike in the US are the same species...Esox Lucius. They are probably bigger because of a longer period of evolution in more food rich waters with less competition.
On the other hand, the yellow perch of the US and the "redfin" perch of Europe are greatly different species. HERE IS A LINK to a web article on the subject. Interesting.
Not sure if us poor old Utah perch jerkers could handle those bad boys from the east. But I'd like to try.
