Are animals that exceed their recognized length considered to be cryptids?

Are animals that exceed their recognized length considered to be cryptids?

Take for example the Saltwater crocodile.

The biggest scientifically verified individual was 6.2 m (20 ft 4 in) in length. There are however reports of much bigger ones (some even exceed ten meters).

Now my question is: Do reported giant individuals of a known species, that however are bigger than what is scientifically recognized, count as cryptids?
