It might also have something to do with debri getting forced into the gills on the pull back.
I prefer (when possible) to pull the fish forward and drag it in a figure 8.
I also look at the dorsal fin to see when it stands up. To me, that's a sign that the fish is building strength for a burst of energy (to escape).
