I agree. I am a native of Mississippi but have now been living in South Alabama for around 27 years. But mostly do my fishing in rivers and dead lakes off those rivers. For years I fished off of a about three of the main big rivers in Southern Mississippi. Two produces real slabs, 2 & 3 pounders. But one of them you were lucky to catch them that weighted a pound. Here in south AL. I haven’t found a river system or area that produces much over about 2 pounders and that’s a great day if it does. The 1 to 1.5 range is average and what is referred to as a slab here. But interesting enough through those videos it helped me understand something my father in law use to say about the two river systems that constantly produce those 2-3 pounders. He use to say those rivers had better nutrients in them than most. It taken me listening to those videos to get it. All lakes and rivers that hold crappie aren’t the same when it comes to food sources and nutrients. Some water stays warmer than other bodies of water. Some bodies of water have enough drainage and stay down low enough to grow the grass. Then some years they stay flooded longer. Once again it all makes sense. Thanks again.
