Open the bail or free spool. Got my best fish last year doing this. Couple of my old cape buddies still fish commercially with 50# pp and do serious damage in the rocks. When they have a large fish that goes into the rocks, they free spool or open the bail, lay the rod down in the boat, and check every few minutes to see if its freed up. These guys catch enough fish to make you puke, so its advice well taken. It will work more often than it fails. Works from the surf too. The trick is knowing when to stop horsing and give in a little, which comes from experience.
