That goes for about any fish that’s in an extended fight.
I fought a 45lb flathead for around 15 minutes, seemed a lot longer when he was spooling my line out, and it took quite a while to revive him. I had to drag him back and forth through the water for several minutes before he finally came to and quit going belly up.
