Hey there doggonefishin',
Fishing the big salty, my experience is that you can't exert mroe pressure on a fish than what it takes him or her to pull you and your craft around. Watch out on the straight vertical !! No kiddin'!!
Here's my strategy on some of our pesky barracuda (zip zip zip) and big bonito (zippppppppppppppppp) friends:
1) Use the wind and current to gain line.
2) Use the old saltwater flyrodders/tarpon anglers trick of alternating your rod position from left to right and parallel to the water to confuse the fish on what direction to directly pull from.
