Yeah, I've watched alot of those videos and none of them ever discuss the drag and how much is possible from an AI. Jim Simmons talks about it in relation to a paddle yak but I'm interested in what an AI can handle.
Technique, yeah those vids are good to see, more interesting is how they set up their AI's.
There are two variables going on here.
One, the force or pull of the fish. (Assume that force is greater than you resistance)
Two, the amount of resistance of the AI and the necessary speed/time to achieve equilibrium to the amount of force applied by you, the drag, and the AI resistance.

Thanks guys, I think Makobob hit the nail on the head in a private message.
30lbs max in the AI, short pumps and use the mirage peddels in reverse to apply more pressure. Skys the limit.

Oh yeah, looking forward to the AI in CR.
