Okay, this may sound naive, but would someone please precisely define flossing?

I saw the Snohomish coho fishing mentioned earlier as a floss fest. I fished that for the first time last year and caught 4 fish using about a 4 ft leader and dick nites. All the fish were hooked on the inside of the mouth and hit the lure hard. I never jerked the rod, but kept a constant retrieve. Did I floss? I don't think so.

A precise definition would help me prevent unintentional snagging on my part and recognize when others are doing it.

From what I understand, "flossing" is defined as pulling long leaders through many fish hoping the line will go through their open mouths and hook the fish in a legal looking way.

Any better definitions or determining characteristics?
