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.
