This underwater video clip shot using a MarCum Technologies camera shows what happens when a neutral to negative northern pike encounters an aggressive bull sunfish.  Watch as the more aggressive sunfish actually bullies the pike (which could eat the sunfish if it wanted to) away from the minnow.  By watching this you realize how fish can sense the mood or aggressiveness of predators in their environment.
Filming Location Northwestern Minnesota

I've seen this happen a bunch. You'd never think a gill would face off with a pike but somehow the gill knows the pike's not going to eat him don't ya think?
