No, it is when the fish shakes loose well away from you.

What is a long line release?? When u cut your line??

As Damien says, it's a tongue-in-cheek way of saying you lost your fish.  It makes it (jokingly) sound like you let the fish get off your line intentionally;)

wierd ratio this year, of all those fish 13 were males - maybe they are more aggressive?

Males always show first and "scout" the river before the females come in.

This is an awesome book that outlines the lives of salmon:

Check page 140 for the male/females ration info.

Long line release simply means the fish comes off the hook when it is still far away from you.

Lol thanks. Will be sure to use that when the wife gives me the gears about not bringing a fish home

Strangely enough, I too have not landed a single doe so far this year.  Hoping for my luck to change soon.
:D

Sorry Tex.
When you landed and kept Karen, you fulfilled your quota of does for life! ;D
