Although the IGFA rules state that the act of anyone other than the angler touching the rod, reel or line would disqualify the catch, the situation you described would not prevent this catch from qualifying under IGFA rules. The intent of this angling rule is to prevent anyone assisting the angler in fighting the fish. In no way is the accidental brushing of the rod/reel against someone while moving in the cockpit assisting the angler in fighting the fish. However, situations such as having someone other than the angler adjust the drag, hook the fish or undo a tip-wrapped rod definitely assists the angler and so would result in a disqualification.
