the rules for this tournament allows only the one angler to touch the rod that is until the leader is accessible. Most of the guys who fish these tournaments are using 30 ft leaders so you have to get the fish at least 30 ft from the boat to get any type of relief. although it is not unusual for the mate to grab the leader up to 50 times during a fight like that. all the while the angler still is the only one who can touch the rod. it is havac when the fish nears the boat because if the mate or wireman stumbles or something and grabs the rod for balance the fish will be disqualified. by the way did i mention the lie detectors after each day of the tournament.
