Since I'm relatively new at this I'm learning, painfully sometimes, that when it wants to run you have to let it. Don't try and force it in.

I'm also finding out how important it is to set the drag properly. All those years of fresh water fishing spoiled me, I never thought twice about setting, and re-checking, the drag when I went fishing. Learned that one the hard way too
