If it’s locked while you doze, better anchor the pole good, or a big’n will make you go swimming to get it back or maybe snap the line. Let it run a little & bring back a little. Repeat ‘til it tires out.
You need to have the drag adjusted on the reel to take into account what you’re fishing for, the line weight, and the action of the rod. If you’re just sitting idly and not paying attention, it’s best to have the drag a bit loose, or the result would be as ChukLitl has described.

I’d rather be like Carl and sleep the afternoon away rather than catching a fish.

I guess it’s a good thing there are people who like to fish. It is an even better thing that I’m not one of them.
