You need good Ballance, good sealegs. And patience. Your only pulling 25#of drag if that. Keep your arm straight and lean back.
People get the crap beat out of them when they try to over muscle the fish, or "curl" with their tricepts, which get you nowhere fast.
the best way to hold 25 pounds for an hour is with a straight arm.
Steady even pressure. Lean back and Ballance the pull of the rod against your weight.
The fish has the mechanical advantage, the lever(rod)is working against the angler.
Tie a rod and line to a wall and lean back against it for practice
