Dcrzfitter first of all when I put in that post you were not being compared to a snagger. I was pointing out that when there is two illegal acts why is one seemingly accepted and the other isn't. As for when a guide hooks up and gives someone else the rod it's perfectly legal unless he has retained a limit.
