The reason you don't see as many big girls is probably because they are choking on the sharp pointy dorsal fins of the walleye they are reduced to eating. Sort of sad, it's like feeding a dog the same dog food it's whole life.

Walleye are also filling up on the big schools of native minnows that support the other fish species too.
