The DFG go out there periodically and do the same check to almost everyone they see with a pole in the water. They are a little zealous sometimes, but I think it is all about getting the message out that they are "watching". I have had them trap my leg between my yak and their hull while one of them was all but diving into my front hatch. The good news is that if you cooperate, they will usually turn you on to the hot spots if you ask (that is Hot Spt, not G Spot so don't get any ideas you 2).
