Slabs are atleast 15'' or 2 lbs.
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 ....

It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!S10CHEVY LIKED above post
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.

Yeah, around here it's pretty much lake dependent, as far as size potential of the fish that come out of it. Then there's the outliers ... the state record came from a little watershed lake (4.87lb) ... not to mention that the prior state record came from a farm pond.
For me, personally .... considering the lakes I fish, a 12" Crappie qualifies as a Slab.
