Default Switched Hook Cost Fish.......

Been doing really well at a local pond, been averaging between six or so almost everytime out. You know the old saying don't mess with something if its working and i did and it cost me three nice fish yesterday and i dont understand why????? My son and myself have been using senco's and a number 4 gami dropshot hook and almost never loose the fish but they seem to tear thru quickly so i bought number 1 mesquito hooks which seem to hold the bait better and its def a bigger hook. most of the fish had it good in the mouth and thats why i don't understand loosing three i hooked up kept the rod at the proper angle they made two or three runs then off????? No jumping or anything they all stayed down, REALLY upset me once in a while it happens but three in one trip? switched back to the gami dropshot hooks and didn't loose any more but had to bail just hit the dock when the monsoon opened up yesterday,,, What kind of hooks do you recommend? Gonna hit it again later today when my son gets home and see what happens today....
