This has been my definition also.
But..........Lake Okeechobee is only 2 to 4 meters deep depending on the
weather and have a great deal of plants along it's bottom.
It's one of the largest FW "lakes". Pretty big pond you can easily see from
space.
There is no good definition, but I still like the one above.
