Don't forget velocity. A fish swimming full out and being suddenly stopped puts a whole lot more pounds of pressure on a line, than if it's just the velocity of gravity being applied to the mass.

A 100 lbs is a baby. My dad caught a >700 lb. tuna when I was a kid, and has caught even bigger fish since then. They take hours to land, and the fisherperson is sore for days afterward.
Of course, now he fly fishes and the fishies are a LOT smaller these days.
Kathy N-V, who hasn't been fishing in years.
