Double Bass Gage Feedback?

I've had my upright for a number of years and i've had the gage with it since the beginning. It seems every time i take my hand off the strings it starts to get louder so i have to put my hand back on the fingerboard and keep the strings from vibrating. Is this feedback and how do i solve this problem?
