Certainly greedy. I don't know how legal they were, but I've seen entire families -- including kids in diapers -- in boats in Alaska during king season. Dad fishes until he has mom's, the three kids' and his limit of two kings each. There was enough weight in the back of the boat to tilt the bow upwards.

It's episodes like the one you saw and I've witnessed that should give the enforcement people a sense of humor failure. I wonder if there were enough life jackets in that boat? That's worth a few $100's in citations.
