Been poking around, and haven't seen an official spot to post new species you caught in your lifetime, so let's post those fish catches here.

Mayan Cichlid - Lifer 77 - Caught with a little spoiler shad in a pond in Florida when I was on vacation in Florida. I was told there were tilapia in this pond, but this is what was biting. Pretty fish. It's invasive though, but I guess they've been around for decades in Florida now.
BLUNTNOSE MINNOW - My 61st. Wasn't initially going for these. I was after mottled sculpin, which are native and kind of look like a round goby. They weren't biting or weren't at the spots we tried. Creek chubs were, as always. I was with the state record holder for the catch and release channel catfish. He found a pool with a bunch of minnows, and let me use his microfishing setup. I ended catching one of those minnows.
NORTHERN HOGSUCKER - Lifer 77 - Finally caught one after many failed attempts. I went to the Bark River, just south of I94 and floated around that section looking for them. When I saw a few, I sighted fished for them and finally caught one. I caught three other fish species on my float down the river, too. It was a great day on the water.
PINK SALMON! I read an article on JSOnline and heard about a record Pink Salmon catch (actually a Pinook) and then did a little more research. They run up several rivers in Northern Wisconsin and in the UP. I headed up there two times. I struck out the first time, but on my second attempt, I landed two and my brother landed one. Here's Lifer 76 for me.
