Before getting carried away we pulled the mouse out and tried a plastic bag. The Greenlee vac was moved out to the pole end and fed with a generator, and the small plastic bag(about 12 X 16 inches) was tied on at the other end, taped securely, but not balled up or anything, and whizzed thru in less than 10 minutes.
I had done this on smaller, shorter pipes, but was happily surprised at how easily it put this project to bed.
It is important to note that we first had to suck out enough water to feel air moving thru the pipe...this was done yesterday with the mouse and vac, and even though the mouse wouldn't go all the way(we concluded there was a flattened hot box bend), it helped us push a lot of water out. Once there was a way for the bag to get by the water it was easy.
