Its easy to figure out...just call up the IGFA and ask them what the world record striper is and who caught it...they'll tell you...its in the books
If your fishing the rocks with your buddy and you hook into your 50, fight it for 30 minutes and then your buddy comes over and grabs it for you or holds your rod while you grab it....does that mean it doesn't count? You got help...you didn't technically catch it yourself.
Why is it that every great catch has to be questioned and disbelieved? Why can't everybody just shake a man's hand and say "Great Catch", maybe even buy the guy a beer.

I caught one of Rochetta's rods this year down in the Sluiceway. Still had the reel on it too. We got it back to him but the reel was junk.Some strange stuff on the ocean floor.....besides big bass.

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?  |

Thats my point exactly. just because someone helped him it shouldn't take anything away from the accomplishment. |
