If you have a fish on the line, you have a couple options. Let it run or try to muscle it in quickly. There's no easy solution I have yet found. It's very hard to get a big fish landed once a dog has it bit. The only thing that I have had limited success with is freespool with just a bit of tension, waiting for the dog to change his grip on the fish at the surface and then cranking as fast as possible while closing the gap by also peddling toward the fish. I'm sure this won't be the last time you have this problem so you should get plenty of practice at it.
