I would suggest you report such a situation if you ever encounter it again. A DWR law enforcement officer could have contacted the man and investigated the circumstances. I would be concerned about an over limit in addition to the filleting violation of the special regs.
There is a chance the man was camping at the lake and intended to consume the fish right away. It wasn't a good idea for the man to fillet the fish in plain view of others who may not have the full story. We pay the officers to sort out these types of cases.
You can call the Help Stop Poaching hotline and they will have an officer sent to the scene. Some basic information such as a vehicle description with license number and any camping site stickers that may have been on the vehicle used by the man would assist a responding officer to fully investigate the case.
