What exactly do you consider a slab Crappie???

[flyngeagle47]

Where I live anything over 12 inches is a slab and 14 is a monster

I would say 12 inches for a Black Crappie and 14 for a White Crappie.

I would say it's all in the eyes of the fisherman. One mans trophy might not be the next guys.

I like to see a big mouth and head when it surfaces on the way to the boat. Bigger fish behave different sometimes and won't lay on their side for the skiing lesson we like to give them. That's when thickness comes into play. If he's 2 fingers thick or more, now you have my attention. Now and then I get one that is almost 3 fingers thick and I get real excited. A slab is a term that is purely in the eye of the beholder. Who am I to say that a fish is small when the fisherman is used to catching dinks and whatever is on the end of his line has him more excited than his first lucky date. I say the eye of the beholder.

If it's as wide as my hand with my thumb laying against my forefinger, it's a slab. If it's wider than that, it's a pig.

If the fish seems to have low self esteem, I will call an 8 inch fish a slab just to help with self esteem issues later in life. If this doesn't seem to help, I will take said 8 inch slab out of the gene pool to prevent the spread of such issues.
