I used to agree w/ you Bart, but I learned the opposite lesson recently.
I found letting good size fish run 2-3 times would tire them out, and I could bring them in on top easily. When I tried stopping them right off, they bulldogged into the rocks and were more likely to scrape and break the line or pull the hook while green.
I know you have to stop fish when there are pots & buoys around, though
