The largemouth is a tremendous fighter, with hard runs and leaps. But it depends on many factors. One, how cold is the water? In colder water, bass, being cold blooded like all fish, tend to be more sluggish than in warmer water. Two, the size of the fish. Big bass pull harder than smaller ones normally. Three, the reel and rod and line strength. Baitcasting reels have more reeling power than spinning reels, and the line test in pounds also determines the time involved. With eight pound test, for instance, have the drag looser to allow the fish to tire itself out. Heavier line will usually make it tougher for the fish to break the line and escape.
Use the right equiptment, and most fish can be boated after a minute or two.
