They are powerful fish, 10 pounds isn’t all that much.
When I jig the canal with spinning gear, my drag is set at 11 pounds. I remember years ago I was out at Race point on the Beach one morning using my canal rod because I was sick of seals taking my fish and plugs. I had my Saltiga set at 25 pounds. Got a bass in almost to shore and a horse head seal grabs it, I stood that seal on his head thought the rod was going to explode, he came up out of the water must have been pissed he couldn’t swim away with a meal and shook his head with the bass in his mouth, line parted because I refused to bow to him.
