In that situation the only way I know is using your hand to fight the fish. Forget the reel, the fish will be long gone by the time you have the line in. I usually lose a fair number of big salt water fish in this circumstance but at least you have a chance. I've seen it done with a 35 lb Jack Crevalle that put up a fight far greater than any fresh water fish ever could.
