I think that this is a big part of it, but Rainbows do start to switch over to baitfish once they get about 16" or so, so that is only part of the answer.

Agreed, but a lot can depend on the strain. The Kamloops area strains for example... those buggers will be 5-10 pounds and still preferring to fill up on midge pupae versus baitfish. It's just how they evolved.
Having said that, I don't think these are the types of rainbows dumped into Strawberry, but I could be wrong.
