Fish took of as an express train, striping may be 25m of the line and swiming towards right. I know that there are some bad rockd close to shore on that side and was trying to force it left without success. It eventually went to sit behind these rocks and I waited patiently for it to swim out, keeping quite a bit preasure on it. Eventualy the line started to move, about 5-10 cm at time and i could feel it chafing over rocks. Suddenly it was loose and horay- fish is still on. It is now swiming to the left about 20m and must follow it. Eventualy, with a wave I pull it on the sand and see it for the first time. I normally go to the fish with rod in hand and put my hand behind gills and bring it out. But this one is to big and wriggles out and falls back about 3 times.Then a big wave comes and knocks me down and fish tries to swim back - but hook is good and fast. we do it again and I get it out of water.
