I doubt it's just the recreational fishermen... Probably a combination of commercial and recreational fishing, as well as natural predation.
Don't forget too that most populations of animals go through cycles of abundance and scarcity... I'm sure they'll come back in force eventually. Squid are much too fecund/efficient predators to be kept down for long.
