since i am fishing with live bait i would have a cooler with water and ice and would try to cool the reel with the water if i could get to it.but there is always that chance it will spool you or burn it up . i would still have to try and see with anything that big i just [#0000ff][size 1]couldn't[/size][/#0000ff]cut the line before i knew if i could get it under control ,i have burned several reels and ripped out the tops of a few and blown all the guides on my rod to get that big fish,but if your in big fish water thats the chance you take sometimes as i look at it but i would go for it and see,but it [#0000ff][size 1]doesn't [/size][/#0000ff]always turn out bad i have caught some very nice fish on very light tackle i fish freshwater mostly and some saltwater but i use a multiline reel after this has happened to me so if it gets to the other color line i know i am in trouble and if i can get control of the run i would cut it before the line spooled.
