Don't tighten drag just use thumb/hand to apply increased pressure.

6X Hooks

Mono instead of Braid....better chance of the line not breaking when the fish gets into the pilings. No reason to think you still can't land her after she goes through the pilings. a looser drag might even help if this happens so the same spot isn't rubbing against the piling

and sometimes there's nothing you can do but tip your hat to the fish and wish her well.
