That is bigger than anything I've ever caught anywhere! Great picture. I'm glad you had fun. I wish I had come up and fished with you. Maybe you could teach me a thing or three about jigging.
I could be wrong, but the only thing I know of as a slab is just that. A slab of lead in a teardrop, oblong, pear, or arched shape. I have a bunch of them in different colors. I guess a Crippled Herring would even be called a slab. the biggest mack I've caught (17.5lbs) came on a 1oz. chartreuse/white teardrop with a 2/0 treble hanging from the bottom. Next time I'll go with a bigger hook. That treble was mangled when I got him in. I'm surprised the hook didn't straighten out.
This is the Bomber slab spoon
