Debate: Do you shut down the pump when you hit an obstruction or power through it?

I had a cutter head jam up on a sunken log down in the Mobile River last Wednesday, and I stopped everything to clear it out, but my coworker says he would've just run it harder to break it loose. Which way do you go when something grabs your suction?

Wouldn't powering through just risk blowing out your whole suction line?
