They are weird creatures, almost pooped myself when one shot out of cypress tree I was passing by.

Beneficial to outdoorsmen - pheasant, rainbow trout
Negative - Asian Carps/common carp, nutria
Honeybees was the best answer, water hyacinth was a good one too.

Eh, rainbows are a mixed bag at best. They outcompete native cut throats in a lot of places.
And for the sake of semantics, if an animal is introduced and has no negative impact on the environment/ecosystem, they're considered "exotics", whereas if they are in fact deleterious then they're considered "invasive".
My examples of good introduced species are:
Nilgai, axis, sika deer and aoudad
Too many invasives to list, but:
Hogs, nutria, giant salvinia, Asian carp, zebra muscles, and (in a lot of places outside of their native range) largemouth and spotted bass

Aoudad out-compete native bighorn sheep in areas where they both exist. I guess you can make an argument that having aoudad is better than not having them OR sheep, but if given the choice I'd much rather see native animals on the landscape

Correct - I was implying it was a good answer for POS introduction of an invasive.

Alaskan Blackfish in Southcentral AK. Invasive species brought over from southwestern AK. Can live outside of water from some time, can be frozen and still remain alive for some time. They present a problem for salmon smolt and trout smolt, but Native folks love to eat them (which is why they were brought over). Problem is you can't use minnow traps in Southcental AK to capture them, only rod and reel or dipnet are legal methods. Not very efficient.
Another one is Northern Pike in Southcentral AK. Eats the native fish populations. Lots of eradication projects on going for those guys.

Same could be said for Axis. Ive seen axis and whitetail in the same field, but if the axis weren’t in the area, the land could support more whitetail.

Also a small clam too! It's blocking up intake pipes for plants.
