If you are into fish big enough to own you in the rocks while using 1201m you had best take me with you so I can examine the problem more carefully.

More seriously, the classic approach to your problem is:

1) #55 braid (or fireline even better)
2) A shock leader of #60 Fluoro about 8 ft long (for which you'll need to learn how to tie an FG knot)
3) Big drag to force the fish to the surface quickly.
4) When wrapped try first to muscle them out. If that is not working then back off on the drag and wait to see if they'll swim out on their own (doesn't typically work in current).
5) some guys advocate strumming the line to encourage the fish to move rather than hunker down.
