Someone fishing near you takes a short?

I usually ask them if they know the regs, and then try to be nice about educating a little.

However, last night, this one guy fishing near me keeps maybe a twenty-five incher, and I try and tell him you can't do that, but he spoke virtually no english. Then like ten minutes later, another guy shows up, and starts screaming at this dude because he was there in the morning as well and kept a short then too! I don't think this guy is going to stop, and I didn't know what to do. I almost went over and threw his fish back in the water. If it was even somewhat alive, it would've happened.
