Thread: Definition of a "slab" crappie..... no offense to those whose name includes slab.

Any fish in my live well must be a slab. Cause a slab of tarter sauce, a slab of butter, or a slab of grease gonna be good.

Correction; 8.75

10" - 12" Eater to Good Eater
13"+ Slab
14"+ Toad
15"+ Pig
16"+ Grenada

well I'm not sure, I have caught 9in crappie on Truman that were bigger in weight than 11 in crappie on Stockton, so guess it would depend on the lake, and the local custom of speech, I say anything over 1lb is a slab.

Anything that goes in the skillet was a "slab"

If it's bigger than 12', then that's a slab.... Fishing Truman Lake and some of the lakes in Oklahoma, I had to change my definition to length and weight. Those OK crappie are heavier but not quite the length of Truman.

Thanks for the definition!!!

Once filleted you can't tell the difference between a 10.5" and a 12", they just get bigger in the head/tail.
