With a boat you use the motor to wind to the fish and then the fish pulls out your line...that's how they catch them on such lite line with a kayak your kind of limited what you can do I released a big hammerhead that took me on a nice kayak ride pulled it up it was as big as my kayak
Any way congratulations...sounds like you did everything right maybe you lost it for a good reason tight lines
