Default Best or Most Unique Fish of 2017?

What was everyone's best or most surprising catch of 2017?

I think for me it was catching 16 - 17" Needlefish while fast trolling a tiny spoon in my kayak out in Eastern Bay.

While I've seen these fish around docks before I'd never caught one. And the ones I caught were the biggest I've ever seen, although it looks like they can get way bigger.

The coolest part of that day though was that the Needlefish gave me a good indicator of where to fish. Shortly after bumping into them I started catching 10 - 13" White Perch and almost legal Rockfish. I know that would be a bummer to most here but an 18 or 19" Rockfish on an ultralite in a kayak is pretty good fun.
