Actually, the smallest fish starve. There is predation to a point but fry and slightly larger, pretty much lose their entire buffet in winter.
Now I have to back up here and state this may not be true in warmer climates but throughout the central US-north, there just isn't a constant source of food for the smallest, late hatch size fish.
I should edit to say I agree with Jim :-))
