Ohio's Record Fish Outdoor Writers of Ohio is the nation's only writers organization that maintains a state's official angling records. OWO's Record Fish Committee, made up of five volunteer members, reviews each application and supporting documentation, including photographs, certified weight slip and statement from a fisheries biologist with the Ohio Division of Wildlife. State Records are determined by weight alone.
