In my experience if it's a croaker, buttoning down the drag you can turn them easily, with yt, once they go on a burner it's hard to turn them.
Yt will have slow, heavy headshakes. Croakers are one quick run and done if you even let them get started.

Oh, the wrestling was INSIDE the kelp, not from outside. Maybe 2-3 minutes, me getting him up couple times, then back to the deep full power. Multiple head shakes coming in bursts of 2-3-4 consecutive. Broke off a nylon-coated wire leader. Leader was old though, maybe better (how?) checking it next time.
Never caught a WSB and do not know how they pull. I think it was either a homeguard YT or a shark, but never had so many head shakes from a shark...
