Patience is an important attribute when fighting large fish. Let the rod and reel work for you,don't try to horse it through the guides.

Exactly.....It's not a monster until it's at your feet on dry land or in your hands when you're in the water.. Heavy tackle, quick reaction, smart decision making, patience, appropriate pressure, and a good hook set all play a role.
