Lock the drag down, use a knocker rig.
Get ready for a ride!
If they "go in the hole"...put the rod in a rod holder, loosen the drag and wait a few minutes. Grab the rod, lock the drag and give it a pull. Sometimes you have to try this multiple times before you catch them out of the hole. If using circle hooks, they should stay hooked.
