I agree with Mr. Bill....but....not everyone is built to handle a heavy drag. If you are a stout person.... with pretty good strength, Mr. Bill's method is excellent....I love to horse those fish to the boat as soon as I can. If you're not a strong person, you may not want a strong drag...you might want to lighten up and fight your fish in. The stronger the drag that you can handle....the better...in my opinion.
