Slabs?

[PerchSlayer]

I am new to panfishing for the most part, however I have fished for bass, white perch, and yellow perch, and crappie alots of times in the past. But have never heard of the term slabs, except on this board. What is everyone refering to when they say slab i understand that it is a fish but what kind?

a "slab" is referring to a big crappie. it probably depends where you live as to how big a crappie must be before it is a "slab". i consider anything over 10 inches to be a slab

Well at KY lake a slab is a big 2lb crappie. Well that is what I think anyway. Some will say that a 1lb crappie is a slab. Slab of meat is what they are referring too.

It's been almost a year since I caught a big crappie. I have held two 14 inch one pound crappie this summer that were caught by someone else and given to me. I guess those could have been called slabs also.

I guess there are degrees of slabs. Big slabs and small slabs lol

The last time someone started about what was a slab we had crappie coming out of Texas than was 30 inches long. LOL.

Perchslayer,

In Eastern N.C. and Eastern Virginia, most folks consider a slab to be a fish a little over 12 inches or about a pound or higher. CF

Here in n/w pa., a slab is any crappie over 10"s. But this spring if they weren't 12"s we were throwing them back as this was the best year for bigger fish on my home lake that we've ever had.
