I have been fishing the sokeye in the lake starting in the early 70's. Just like any fish some are fighters some are not. My experience is that these fish tend to roll over and over. The line gets wraped up around the fish then the dodger cuts the line is my experience. If this happens and you loose the fish just sit their and look for a few minutes. I have netted a couple of these sockeye after loosing them they just keep rolling trying to get rid of the hardware you just lost and sometimes come back up to the surface. I fought one that was around 12 pounds lots of fight.
