When I first dived the local rigs, about 6 or 7 years ago, there were large populations of huge sheephead. They were totally tame and you almost had to push them out of the way (especially if you were collecting scallops).

When hunters started frequenting the rigs, I guess they didn't know what hit them. Their numbers declined pretty rapidly. When I was out there last year, I didn't see one fish (sheephead or otherwise) over about 8 inches long.
