How do I fight a fish that wont stop running?

I was night fishing from a dock in the panhandle with my pompano rig on a medium fast, 3000 reel rod. I had fresh cut pinfish on my hooks. Something big came along and took off. I had my drag set fairly loose so it could run. Thing is, it did not stop running. Thing kept running for a few minutes before my leader snapped at the swivel before i ever had a chance to tighten my drag down. A guy told me Jacks were running in the area so Im guessing thats what it was. How am I supposed to fight that?
