[cool][#0000ff]As far as I know, there are no formulas of poundage per minute. Too many variables. Some fish fight harder than others...even of the same species. Also it depends a lot on the tackle and the fisherman. A good fisherman can whup a good sized fish on lighter tackle faster than a rookie can land the same size fish on heavier gear.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have landed stripers over 40 pounds, on 8 and 10 pound line, in less than 15 minutes. I have also fought big summer flatheads for an hour on 20 pound line[/#0000ff]
