Whether it's legal or not, I still think it's a case of poor ethics. There is no way that they are going to eat around 1,000 bluegill. Wasting of fish is never cool (unless they're carp). One other thing to note, just like with gamefish, larger panfish are harder to replace. I think it's fine to keep a hand full of good sized gills, but buckets of them off their nests? That's just gluttony and selfishness. Of course, they could have been full of crap and grossly exaggerated the numbers of fish caught.
