Is it 100% illegal, or if they were closely attended then it would be legal?
1.05. ANGLING.
To take fish by hook and line with the line held in the hand, or with the line attached to a pole or rod held in the hand or closely attended in such manner that the fish voluntarily takes the bait or lure in its mouth

2.00. FISHING METHODS--GENERAL.
(a) Except as otherwise authorized, all fish may be taken only by angling with one closely attended rod and line or one hand line with not more than three hooks nor more than three artificial lures (each lure may have three hooks attached) attached thereto.

Leaving a line attached to a floating object not attached to a closely attended rod/reel or held in the hand is 100% illegal. If they held onto that contraption or cast it out they would be good to go based on 1.05 and 2.00 in the regulations.
