Define Slab please

[Ketchn]

AND YES sir , when the grandson is ketchn they are ALL slabs for sure ....

[Ketchn]

They don’t run as big in Da Bayou near my house. Biggest I have landed was 15 “ but that size is rare. Mostly very thick blacks and anything over 9 inches is grease worthy.

A slab here on Bayou Lacombe is 12 inches or bigger.

Unless it’s caught by one of my younger grand daughters then 2 eyes and a few scales qualifies it as a prize catch or a SLAB.

BON TEMPS !!!

her fish is a slab

Nice catches Ketchn.

Slabs are atleast 15'' or 2 lbs.

[Ketchn]

Slabs are atleast 15'' or 2 lbs.

we have a problem with length versus weight in these parts .
a 16 inch black from bridgeport could be in pretty good health and built like a sandbass and weigh 1.25 to 1.5
same size black crappie from cedar creek will push 3 lbs. hard .....
2 lbs is a really big fish once you hit the dfw and west waters in most cases
we have several lake records in these parts that are just right above 2 lbs on white crappie and under 2 on blacks ....

Our local lake being a river lake cycles every few years. About 4 years ago numbers were down but we caught some strings of good fish . Hope this spring or the next will see the size go back up . Our mostly White Crappie are pigs . A 15'' in spring will go 2.25 lbs . Here is one string with 13 over 2 lbs with biggest 7 at 15.98 lbs on my Rapala digital scales .

This is a bucket of mighty fine eating slabs to me.

I would say it depends on water fished, Individual doing the catchn. One lake I used to fish, due to enforced access, if you caught anything over 11" inches it was a hog. Only being allowed access to the middle of the lake area, (old one lane bridge, foot traffic only now), no floating craft of any type, sorta limits possibilities greatly.

Everything I catch is a slab!
