It's too bad you can't catch and release a record catch. I think this year I'm going to catch a record warmouth but I don't want to kill it.
I thought you could just take pics and measurements and have one witness to get in the record books?

To answer the question, YES it must be caught in public waters.
All warm-water fishing records for the state of Oregon are kept by Oregon Bass and Panfish Club not by ODFW. (IMHO ODFW only cares about cold water fish so get used to it)
