I guess it depends on who's catching them. I'd say 12" is a pretty darn good one.
Welcome from Louisiana. The requirements of slab depends on a lot, mostly whether or not there are witnesses to debate the issue. :dono I think everyone has their own standard of slab, but to me it is anything above the average fish for the area I am fishing.Quote:

Where 'bouts in MA, roughly?
I would say over 12 inches
Hey from Alabama. In the private lakes I fish it would be 14" so it depends on the waters you fish.
i guess i got me some slabs. this past season, we had no ice where i fish. season before, i started fishing fishing for crappies after catchng a couple ice fishing. started small and then got one 11" . got a few more between 11-12" then 13, and 14. last month, while fishing for bass, saw a suspended school in the fishfinder and dropped a minnow. WHAM! pulled up a 15 incher.
i'm from Peabody, MA
