I think the biggest thing to wipe them out is birds, they stay on top
and in groups and are easy prey. A second factor would be quickly being
caught by the bait chuckers.

The two resident bald eagles and several osprey take allot of fish from our
lake, however the bait fisherman do much more damage to the population.
Granted they are stockers and planted to be caught, however I see so many go
out in the morning and catch over their limit and go back out in the
afternoon and do the same all over again.

And... some of them (neighbor in one case) have the balls to brag about it.
