In Bothell there's a creek from Lk Sammamish to Lk WA that i saw driving near the Wayne Golf Course. (in the car, not golfing) Thinking, what kinda fish could i catch there?

I had a jig head tied on already so tried a couple casts of a curl grub with no hits but spooked a splash nearby. The water is really really dark and muddy. Switched to a black spinner and got a hit right away, but it fell off near the bank so i couldn't tell what i had. Kept on trying, but hooked up a small squawfish (pike minnow?) threw it back and soon after landed another one a bit bigger. Not quite a bass or a trout i was hoping for but a fun to fish a new spot.

yeah, those fish are a nuisance fish like carp, they eat all the fry and eggs of all the other gamefish. too bad washington isn't a state that pays you to catch and KILL them.

Elijah, there is a bounty program on the Columbia, they need more of those elsewhere though, voracious predators that wipe out gamefish and everything else in its path
