Ohio State Record White Crappie: 3 lb 15 oz
The Ohio state record white crappie weighed 3 lb 15 oz and measured 18.5 inches. It was caught in 2024 from Glandorf Rod and Gun Club by Teresa Croy, and the Ohio Division of Wildlife still recognizes it as the state mark 2 years later.
Where the record came from
The record came from Glandorf Rod and Gun Club. We don't carry a water-quality grade for it: our index covers standing lakes with enough EPA Water Quality Portal samples to score, which leaves out rivers and tributaries, Great Lakes water, and smaller ponds that are rarely sampled. Browse the Ohio lakes we do grade instead.

Each figure comes from that state's own fisheries agency. Agencies differ on what they certify — some recognize catch-and-release length records alongside weight — so treat this as a comparison of standing certified weights, not a single national list.
How it ranks inside Ohio
18 of Ohio's 21 standing records are heavier than the 3 lb 15 oz white crappie — unsurprising, since record weight tracks species size more than anything about the water. 18 Ohio records have stood longer, the white crappie mark dating to 2024.
