Of course it counts, if someone else comnes down and lands it for you. Someone else is allowed to touch the leader to land a fish under IGFA rules.

Look at it this way--for all of Rochetta's bitching--what are the odds that he gaffed the fish himself with one hand while holding the rod in the other?

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
