Use your scoop to help land them. Crappie have thin skin at their mouth. Unless you can hook them in the lip or roof of the mouth, it is easy for them to knock the hook out of the now oblong hole near their lips at the ice hole.Also, the more out of the water they are, the heavier they become on the hook as they lose buoyancy making is it easier to rip out the hook.
Interesting! Maybe I'm loosening up, but I didn't think that was the issue. I'll try to keep this mind.
