to be a slab in my opinion it has to be atleast 18in but then again i live in texas and i have pulled a few out close to 25 in the river
If your fishing High Rock Lake, NC it's between 8 1/4 and 8 1/2 inches. Just kidding, to me a decent fish is 10''-12'', a slab 12''-14'' and any thing over 14 inches is huge
Do you fish Badin much or do them there nasty stripers ripp all your lite line off your reels :confused:
To me a slab is 1.5lbs or bigger.Quote:

In fact we have to buy special frying pans and stoves to cook our crappie. And each house in IN is equipped with a overhead crane to help move the fish around the kitchen. LOL
To me, a crappie is a slab if it is 11 inches or bigger. They don't grow all that big up here in New England.
Big George, That I can remember, I have never fished Badin, and those nasty strippers better leave my poor defenseless minnow alone. I don't worry about my line, I buy it in bulk.
30 AND 60 Inch crappie? Never heard of that and I have been crappie fishing for 25 years.
Are you guys catching them on lake Mary Jane in the back of Good Bud's cove?
To me a keeper, has to be at least 10, but a slab 14 or more, here in western Pa.
Boy You Know How To Fire Us Up. Good Question. A Slab To Me Is Any Crappie That Makes Me Want To Grab A Net. Unless Im In Texas Then A Slab Can Be As Big As 10 Inches And I Call It 30. Fish4dug
