Hi Rich
I'm quite puzzled.
First of all a 40" (about 20#) fish isn't all that big (its big on a flyrod, not so on a 50# wireline outfit).
I've caught a few stripers over 40" on a flyrod and I would not characterize any of their fights as 'like bringing in a tire' ... quite the contrary.
If there was any way of controlling such things, you could have my quota of bluefish ... with pleasure.
