RE: When and where
Just a descriptive term.
I have heard the term used a few times. In the context used, it seemed that the term was being used to describe an usually big deer. I have heard shooters also say they saw or downed a "pig" or a "bruiser."
Big buck or big doe will do the job just fine.

RE: When and where
I have heard the term used alot recently.
Another one I have heard alot in the past year or so is a "slammer"
Neither slob or slammer bother me at all, but I don't use them terms either.[&:]

RE: When and where
Where I came from we called them "SLAB" as in "that is one huge slab of meat!" whether it was fish or what-have-you, any kind of meat when it is BIG is considered a SLAB.
Look in the dictionary for "slob" and then "slab".
IMHO it all started when someone heard the word and thought they heard it differently or they heard it from an uneducated person. Take for instance, when I spent my youth at my Uncle Franks farm. I asked him what the "H" was for on the 2nd shifter and he said "high" then I asked about the "L" if it meant "low" and he said yes. Then I asked about the "S" and he replied "safety" but he pronounced it "safe-et-ee". He could read but....God bless his soul! this may be off subject but I do miss my Aunt Cleos cooking!!!!

Just the other day I recognized the growing popularity of this word used in association with big bucks. I know what some of you are saying, it doesn't fit! I agree! I think it's stupid but that's because there was an infomercial with this narrator trying to be cool, calling all the fish caught on the new lure "slobs!" I guess that ruined it for me cuz the guy was a dork! Whatever you call it, I’m after it!

Nope! As RA stated it was mostly used to describe a "wallhanger" of a fish and then eventually included anything that would fall into the "wallhanger" category.
Maybe it's just a "yankee" thing?
Now ya'll stop givin us crap bout it , ya hear!
