This April 26, 2014 photo, Pike are placed in a basket at the Pike Masters Invitational Championship in Pierre, S.D. Lake Oahe is experiencing a renaissance at least as far as northern pike angler Dale Lebeda is concerned. Thanks in large part to a severe drought and the resulting drop in the reservoir's water levels in the mid-2000s, followed by the eventual refilling of the lake, northern pike numbers like most other fish species numbers have sky rocketed. And that's just great for Lebeda, who would rather fish for big pike than anything else. (AP Photo/Capital Journal, Nick Lowrey)

FILE - In this Jan. 16, 2014 file photo, Ohio Highway Patrol Lt. Anne Ralston stands in a storage area for boxes of drugs already tested by the Patrol's crime lab in Columbus, Ohio. For years, Ohio troopers destroyed thousands of pounds of seized drugs for free at factories where the containers were placed into molten steel and disintegrated. That practice has become less tenable over time as companies worried about emissions and environmental concerns and whether the process might skew employee drug tests. (AP Photo/Kantele Franko, File)
