This.
Stop putting crabs on ice use fresh lively crabs.
Break off the points with a pair of pliers and pull the claws off. Leave the legs on so it can crawl around on the bottom. You don't need to break it in half a 30" red will eat a 4" crab with no problem.
A friend of mine brings rubber bands and rubber band the hook to the the shell. I hook mine through the back swimmer fin where it meats the body.
