Not actually. There were several different marine reptiles that had mammalian characteristics, notably the group known as pelycosaurs.

There are individual mammals that are bigger than individual reptiles, and there are individual reptiles that are bigger that individual mammals. However, the average size of all extant mammals is larger than the average size of all extant reptiles. Most reptiles are lizards and snakes, which are usually small. Only a few species of tortises, alligators, crocodiles, caimans, and very large snakes are big. Most mammals are bats, rodents, and shrews, which are usually small, but there are still hundreds of mammals that are big, including the biggest animal on the planet: the blue whale. There are more large mammals than there are large reptiles.
